Chapter 1: An Unexpected Encounter

Ana Schariac was walking briskly on the streets of Kolosten, the old headquarters of Schicksal, looking left and right, holding a cup of milk tea in her hand. She felt quite relaxed.

She really enjoyed this leisurely and undisturbed feeling.

After all, not long ago, Ana had passed the Valkyrie promotion assessment successfully, and now she was already a well-known A-rank Valkyrie ranked at the top of Schicksal.

She became a formal Valkyrie at the age of twelve and was promoted to A-rank at sixteen. No matter where she was placed, she could be said to be gifted. Even in the old Schicksal family like the Schariac, talents like Ana were rare.

In short, both the Schariac family and Ana's partners treated her very well—the captain of the Snow Lotus Squas gave Ana a period of free time to relieve her from heavy duty and return to Schariac's residence to enjoy a belated celebration banquet (celebrating her promotion to A-rank).

How should she put it? Ana was really happy at first. After all, she hadn't seen her family for a long time. Now that she had returned home in glory, she was very proud.

But it wasn't long before Ana was approached by various relatives. Some came for blind dates, some hoped she could teach their children Valkyrie lessons, and some came to discuss cooperation related to the Snow Lotus Squad...

Ana had never seen such scene... Oh no, she had really seen a similar scene, but in the past, it was other people who dealt with these tasks, such as her parents or the captain and vice-captain of the Snow Lotus Squad.

And now, Ana, who had become an A-rank Valkyrie, was also regarded as someone who could stand on her own. Ana's parents, who could have helped her out, smiled and stepped aside, watching their daughter being surrounded by a group of people, muttering and making a lot of noise.

Although Ana's flexible brain, which was enough to plan a Honkai war zone, was not quite matched with these complicated and trivial matters, she still sorted them out one by one. In addition, during this process, the chestnut-haired girl also showed an emotional intelligence that surprised herself—generally, everyone returned with satisfaction.

"The A-rank Valkyrie is indeed worthy of her reputation!"

"I have been optimistic about Ana since she was young. She studies hard and practices hard. She will definitely be a good seedling in the future..."

After a long time, the celebration came to an end in a somewhat chaotic but still warm atmosphere. Ana's parents took their dizzy daughter home. After a simple wash, Ana fell asleep and even snored in a very unladylike manner.

The next day, someone still came to the door and wanted to talk to Ana about more things that were not convenient to discuss at the celebration yesterday or that were not finished at that time.

As a result, Ana's parents smiled apologetically: "Our child has grown up. She disappeared in the morning. We really don't know where she went."

In fact, they knew, but they didn't intend to say it.

"It's time to let the child have a good rest..." they thought. As for Ana herself, she got up before dawn, without saying hello to her family, and "slipped" out of the Schariac's house. Then she took a transport plane with the authority of an A-rank Valkyrie and ran all the way to Kolosten, the old headquarters of Schicksal.

As for why she didn't run further... Ana felt that she would have to go home to face those troubles after a few days of wandering (she couldn't escape), or she might rest halfway, and the Snow Lotus Squad would summon her back to deal with these...

She wanted peace, but she didn't want to be so far away from Schicksal. After all, Ana felt that as an A-rank Valkyrie of Schicksal, she still had to have a corresponding attitude.

Of course, Ana also felt that what she was doing now was quite rebellious, very cool, and very refreshing!

We all know that Ana's so-called rebellion now is actually not that extreme, not as good as a hair of a certain uncle Kaslana—he really made himself famous on the Schicksal wanted list, and there is no intention to cancel it so far.

For Ana, this was enough. She could finally put aside the heavy responsibilities on her shoulders and stop thinking about all kinds of fancy and shameful titles—[The Pride of the Schariac Family], [The Rising Star of the Snow Lotus Squad], [The Successor of Cecilia]...

No, this is still a bit too much. As for Senior Cecilia... let's look at Senior Bianca.

Ana shook her head and threw the idea out of her mind. She greeted the old man and old woman who looked very energetic on the roadside and walked aimlessly along the road.

There were some ordinary people here, both men and women, young and old. Basically, someone in their family worked for Schicksal, and then the whole family moved here—after all, Schicksal's salary is very high and the welfare is not bad. Basically, only one person could support the family's life.

Of course, people did not do nothing. After gathering so many people, Kolosten also spontaneously formed a commercial living area. Over time, Schicksal staff would also come to buy something and eat something. The milk tea in Ana's hand was also bought from a small shop over there.

She walked around for a long time before taking a sip of milk tea, and then unexpectedly felt that it tasted pretty good.

"Hmm..."

The girl with chestnut hair held the milk tea, walked and stopped, admiring the streets, ancient buildings, flowers, and plants full of historical traces in Kolosten, and sincerely felt the weight of Schicksal's history.

Ana herself didn't even notice that her route had subtly turned to a strange position...

"Ana?"

"Huh?!"

An unfamiliar voice greeted the chestnut-haired girl in an uncertain tone, scaring Ana so much that she shuddered and threw the milk tea in her hand away.

"Swoosh—"

With a slight sound of breaking through the air, the milk tea that was about to fall to the ground was picked up by the black and red light, and not even a drop of juice leaked out.

Ana looked at the person who came. It was a girl with gray hair and red eyes. She was wearing a loose casual outfit, and her every move exuded an especially obvious training temperament. Of course, the Valkyrie also felt a certain dangerous aura lingering around the other party, which made Ana subconsciously alert.

Is the visitor not friendly...?

"Tsk, I forgot that the progress of Mobius is not so exaggerated... It seems that this is really..."

The other party carefully looked at Ana for a few seconds, then smacked her lips, handed the milk tea back, and expressed her kindness: "I said, be careful next time."

"Uh, thank you."

Ana took the milk tea and felt a little regretful.

How could she not notice that there were other people around? Obviously, she did not do well in the investigation exam. Was she too relaxed, or...?

"Senti, this way... Hey? Ana?"

Ana raised her head and looked in the direction of the shouting, and was surprised to see the figure of a blond knight.

"Bianca, you're here!?"

---

Capter 2: Chuang Chuangzi!

"Bianka, long time no see!"

Ana approached the familiar figure enthusiastically and looked at the unfamiliar equipment on her:

It was a set of Battlesuit with white as the main color, dotted with some black, and two translucent ribbons with subtle blue on the back, which looked very heroic.

On her head, there was a black and white feather decoration that matched the color of the Battlesuit, and there was also a cluster of feathers of the same style as the headdress near the shoulder, which added a bit of softness to the knight's temperament.

Ana knew that as an S-rank Valkyrie, Durandal had always been a frequent visitor to the Schicksal R&D. It was normal for her to get a new set of Battlesuit without her knowing.

However, Ana keenly noticed another unusual change in Bianka—

"When did you dye your hair? And it was highlighted white... even the ends of the hair at the back were dyed..."

The new A-rank Valkyrie walked around Durandal, looked at her hair in confusion, and made a puzzled sound. Although it did look more compatible with the new Battlesuit, in Ana's impression, Bianka put most of her energy into training and fighting. She was not someone who cared about her outfit or fashion. This kind of highlighted hair color did not fit her personality...

Ana's mind spun rapidly, and she finally found a possible reasonable explanation—maybe it was the vice-captain Rita who often took care of Bianka and had a good relationship with her? After all, Rita's every move was quite elegant, and she seemed to be good at makeup and dressing...

"Uh... this..."

The other party scratched her head awkwardly, as if thinking about how to explain.

In fact, the "Durandal" standing here was not herself, but an unknown A-rank Valkyrie, Luo Lin.

She was now using the character card of [Palatinus Equinox]. After getting rid of the interception of the two big shots and returning to the original world, the [Spark Rebirth] activity in Luo Lin's system also ended, and an achievement popped up:

[Congratulations on your achievement: Completion Plan]

[Completion Plan: Use stigmata/spiritual abilities when establishing links with more than 10 people at the same time.]

["At this moment... the people are united."]

[Achievement Reward: S-rank Valkyrie Character Card "Palatinus Equinox"]

Very good, Luo Lin's physical team had added a new general, which was more convenient when dealing with those imaginary bosses in the abyss battlefield...

But it was only a little more convenient, and it still couldn't help Luo Lin gain a foothold in the [Red Lotus] segment. Abyss defeated [Red Lotus], and players generally already had the skills to score points and a set of graduation teams for the corresponding weather. The extra damage that Luo Lin's Abyss dealt with skills under her physical body (referring to critical hits against weaknesses) could no longer make up for the weakening caused by the limited weather and monster weakness relationship.

If she encountered the weather and boss that could be beaten in Luo Lin's character card reserve, she could still barely hold on in [Red Lotus] with exquisite skills. Once the weather and boss were not suitable, she would rush back like diarrhea... uh, this description is a bit inelegant; anyway, she would fall back to [Agony III] rank.

This situation is affectionately called [XX Elevator] by players (really affectionate?), and this XX can be replaced by Nirvana, Red Lotus, and Agony, referring to the inability to stabilize one's own Abyss rank, swinging back and forth between the two ranks like an elevator.

In reality, the solution for players is to save crystals, wait for the right time to draw a card, and strengthen the team required for the Abyss weather... But for Luo Lin, the situation becomes a bit embarrassing. After all, she couldn't save crystals, or after saving crystals, she would always encounter strange things that made her wallet shrink rapidly (even Luo Lin would think that the crystals were worth spending).

After repeating this several times, Luo Lin could only sigh at the selling prices under the character cards in the system store, and then hold the crystals and basically not spend them, always ready to empty her reserves for the next bad luck... It was really sad.

So, after obtaining [Palatinus Equinox], Luo Lin excitedly rode "Krishna" to the Abyss and Elysian Realm to mess around everywhere—she was very happy to mess around in the Elysian Realm, and it was actually very stress-relieving to beat the ranks after the Signets was obtained.

It was different in the Abyss. Luo Lin thought that the quality of [Palatinus Equinox] character card itself was extremely high, and it had the ability to beat [Honglian] in the corresponding weather, but in terms of skills... she was a bit lame.

Different from the weapons Luo Lin had come into contact with before, [Palatinus Equinox] used a lance, especially the kind of lance that could be mounted and charged. Although the character card itself comes with a set of combat skills, Luo Lin's actual fighting skill with it feels rather rigid and stiff.

No way, who told Luo Lin to fight the monsters in the abyss, all of which are very intelligent?

Luo Lin practiced alone for a few days and found that the progress of her lance skills was not so optimistic.

She thought for a while and pulled the Herrscher of Sentience next to her over.

"I'll teach you? Okay."

At the beginning, Senti was indeed very happy to teach—although Fu Hua had never done a thing like riding a horse and charging with a lance (if there was really something, Fu Hua would rather use fists directly), for a melee master like Fu Hua who founded a school, one method can be mastered by all methods, and swords, spears, and halberds are just a means... There are also commonalities between lances.

Teach, I can teach.

Then Senti was dragged by Luo Lin to work overtime for three days, and every day she had a high-intensity collision with the enemy in the Abyss—she complained bitterly and finally decided to slip away and relax herself.

It's not that Senti can't continue to fight, but this is really too... boring? Uninteresting?

It's even more boring than a a chore!

Elysia commented sharply on this matter: "This is what overtime crazy is like."

Senti ran away, and Luo Lin naturally chased her out, and then... then ran into Ana in the state of [Palatinus Equinox].

Senti looked around and showed a mischievous smile: "Hahaha, you are an acquaintance of Durandal, right?"

"Well, I used to train with Bianka."

Ana gave her a friendly smile and introduced herself: "I am Ana Schariac, an A-rank Valkyrie of the Snow Lotus Squad..."

"I..."

Now it was the turn of the Herrscher of Sentience to be in trouble. Should she tell Ana that she was a Herrscher directly?

What if she scared someone and sounded the alarm... Well, Otto knew her existence and would definitely suppress this matter later, but it would still be a mess.

She came out to relax and didn't want to cause trouble for herself. Besides, the Herrscher of Sentience has not thought of giving herself a name that is easy to call her—after all, everyone else is used to calling her Herrscher, Sentience, Sister Senti... Of course, the most outrageous one should be Luo Lin, who keeps calling her "Senti" all day long...

The gray-haired girl thought for a few seconds and sighed: "You can call me Senti. I am cooperating with your bishop now, right...?"

"Cooperating with Overseer Otto?!"

Ana raised her eyebrows and looked at "Durandal" with an "I understand" expression: "Well, I didn't see anything, so... huh?"

The girl with long chestnut hair widened her eyes and opened her mouth.

Not far away, another familiar face came out from the corner—this time it was the real Durandal.

"No, you, she..."

Ana was at a loss, pointing at Durandal, then at [Palatinus Equinox], confused.

"Sentience? Ana? And... uh... Luo Lin?"

Chapter 3: Fight! (Close-up of the spear)**

Luo Lin had told Durandal before that she had some strange abilities, including but not limited to changing into another person's appearance, and at the same time gaining a certain degree of skills and combat power from that person...

But when Durandal found out that Luo Lin had turned into herself, she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy -

What exactly is the teacher's ability? Did the teacher really turn into me? How similar is the "Durandal" she turned into to herself? What about her combat power?

Many questions swirled in the blonde knight's mind, but when she spoke out, it turned into a sentence: "Teacher, I want to try to practice with you like this!"

Senti rolled her eyes: "I originally thought that as the person involved, you must have a say in this, but I didn't expect you would say such a thing in the end."

Durandal scratched her head embarrassedly: "Ahaha..."

Luo Lin readily agreed: "Of course, Bianka, in fact, I wanted to find you. After all, I am not very good at using the lance. I will have to trouble you to teach me later..."

"Okay."

Durandal took two steps closer and put her hand on Ana's shoulder, whose eyes were rolling around: "Don't be nervous, this is my former teacher, Luo Lin, the A-level Valkyrie of Destiny... Is it a special ability to become like me?"

"Yes, that's right."

Luo Lin nodded in agreement and then transformed back to the [Dark Feather] state, making Ana's confusion even worse.

The girl with chestnut hair bit her lips: "Could it be that you are Senior Wraith from the Intelligence Department who is said to have the ability to change into various forms?"

"Uh... Although I am indeed from the Intelligence Department, I am not Wraith that you think."

Luo Lin knew who Ana was talking about. It was the A-rank Valkyrie Wraith who appeared in the comic "Moon Shadow."

Wraith also belongs to the Intelligence Department and has superb disguise ability:

In the comic, Wraith turned into Murata Himeko, Otto, and Theresa in a few frames of the storyboards chatting with Fu Hua, and even made corresponding changes to her body shape. In the end, she "created" a non-existent thing like big-breasted Theresa (?).

Later, she also disguised herself as Welt's clone (Joyce) and deceived anti-entropy troops...

In terms of disguise ability alone, Wraith is much stronger than Luo Lin, who can only transform into a specific character in her inventory.

Of course, perhaps because Wraith has put too many talents into this skill, she is not very good at fighting. Luo Lin dared to say that even if she used the most humble [Dark Feather] on the panel and used one hand to Wraith, she could win.

When Ana woke up from the confusion, she found that she had come to a training ground in Kolosten.

In the middle of the field, the two people looked at each other from a distance like twins.

Durandal had already changed into the [Bright Knight: Excelsis] Battlesuit, and the [Eternal Silence Helel] spear was surging with Honkai energy. Two self-driven phantoms floated beside her, obviously ready.

The blonde knight carefully looked at the figure opposite of her, especially the cool black armored warhorse that Luo Lin rode.

A trace of blue light flowed out from the gap of the Battlesuit on the warhorse.

Its appearance really fit Durandal's aesthetic very well, as if she was born to have a partner like that, and she liked it no matter how she looked at it.

Durandal took a deep breath, looked at the [King] and [Queen] beside her, and said sorry in her heart.

"Bianka, shall we start?"

Luo Lin adjusted her sitting position to make holding the spear more comfortable - she did not have the special weapon of [Palatinus Equinox], so she could only use [Key of Revelation] to mimic Abyss Flower for this battle.

Durandal nodded: "Come on, teacher."

"——Ding!!!"

Ana felt that there was something wrong with her eyes. The two people who were at the opposite ends of the training ground just a moment ago collided in the middle of the field in the blink of an eye.

Luo Lin's spear hit the floating shield of the Excelsis Battlesuit. Durandal blocked the thrust, but the price was that she was pushed out several meters, and her boots left two black friction marks on the ground.

Luo Lin shouted, held the spear tightly, twisted her waist, and the warhorse under her crotch also moved according to her wishes, raising its horse hoof high.

The spear that had been resting on the shield made a harsh sound, and a huge force was transmitted to Durandal.

No, it can't be stopped.

The blonde knight made a quick judgment, and she retreated decisively, tilting her shield at a subtle angle, directing the impact of Palatinus Equinox's lance in another direction.

"Swish--"

The lance with huge power finally missed, and in the whistling sound, the tip of the spear dragged a mixture of purple, black, and white energy light, condensing into a dazzling arc in the air.

[Elite Thrust]!

Taking advantage of the opportunity that Luo Lin had not yet recovered her balance after this move, Durandal immediately raised her spear forward and poked at Palatinus Equinox at a tricky angle.

"Snap!"

The warhorse under Luo Lin actually twisted its body and kicked the spear. Palatinus Equinox also avoided this attack by a millimeter, using the advantage of mobility to open up the distance.

Palatinus Equinox ran around the field, looking like it was trying to catch Durandal's flaws. The blonde knight responded calmly, changing her direction with small movements to avoid flaws in her own stance.

Of course, Luo Lin knew what she was doing - she was replenishing Palatinus Equinox's [ICHOR] by moving so that she could launch [Elite Thrust] next time.

In the second round, Luo Lin still took the initiative to attack. This time Durandal changed her response method. She controlled two phantoms to attack from both sides, trying to hit Luo Lin first.

But at this moment, Luo Lin actually stood up.

In Durandal's astonished eyes, the warhorse neighed, exploded, and turned into a pitch-black shield to intercept the attack of the phantom.

Then, Palatinus Equinox's figure came out from the darkness, draped the entire shield on herself, and transformed from a white light-Battlesuited knight into a heavy-armored warrior in black armor, and hit Durandal heavily.

Seeing this, the blonde knight was not panicked at all, and even showed excitement. She lowered her body, filled her shield and spear with energy, and took the initiative to meet the opponent.

"Ding! Ding! Bang!"

The Mimic Black Abyss White Flower and the Eternal Silence Helel collided continuously, leaving gorgeous traces in the air.

Such an exaggerated scene made Ana, who was watching the battle on the sidelines, a little dazed.

Is this an S-rank Valkyrie? No, Bianka just said that the one fighting against her was her teacher? You told me this is A-rank?

"Tsk, the situation is not good."

"?"

Ana looked at the Herrscher of Sentience standing beside her with her arms crossed. The gray-haired Valkyrie said in a very certain tone: "If you still only know those few moves, Luo Lin will definitely not win - look, her flaw has been caught."

"Kacha!"

"Well... OK, I give up."

Luo Lin took a few steps back helplessly and stretched out her hand to stop.

She rubbed her belly. Durandal saw through her attack routine and broke through the defense of Palatinus Equinox with a simple but exquisite spear technique, hitting Luo Lin's abdomen with one move.

Just as Senti said, Luo Lin can only use Palatinus Equinox to fight a few fixed times now, and because she has no special weapon, she can't use the usual specific combos.

Under these circumstances, Luo Lin used Palatinus Equinox to deal with the monsters in the abyss whose intelligence was not particularly top-level, but there were some problems in fighting the boss at the end of the level, not to mention that the opponent was Durandal herself who was familiar with this set of lance techniques.

"What power!"

Durandal turned her wrist and exclaimed.

Luo Lin smiled and said, "Isn't it great? This is your future you?"

"My future me? No wonder these lance techniques look so familiar. It seems that many improvements have been made... It's worth studying."

The blonde knight raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "I'm really looking forward to the day when I grow up to be like this."

Luo Lin scratched her head: "By the way, Bianka, can you teach me how to use a lance? I feel like I can't really get it..."

Durandal smiled brightly: "Don't blame me for being ruthless, Teacher Luo Lin. You do have a lot of problems with fighting with a lance..."

"It's started, the overtime maniac has started."

Senti sighed: "Ana, let's eat something first. I can tell from their expression that these two people are going to toss for hours without stopping..."

"Ah?"

Chapter 4: Resonance of the Stigmata

Ana looked back every few steps and finally couldn't help asking, "Is it really not necessary to wait for Bianka at the training ground?"

"No need, trust me."

Senti glanced at the chestnut-haired girl and noticed some emotional fluctuations emanating from her. She scratched her head and said, "If you want to chat with her, you can also wait for a while at our place. They will come back to rest after training."

Ana asked in confusion, "Come back... where?"

The other replied very naturally, "Our home... where Luo Lin and I live in Kolosten."

Senti took Ana through the alley and arrived at their destination in a short while.

It was a villa with a classic Kolosten style on the outside, but the chestnut-haired Valkyrie could see that the building was well maintained. Compared with the house next to it, it was cleaner and tidier. The flowers and plants in the small yard in front of the door were growing well and blooming with colorful flowers.

A girl with black hair and blue eyes in an apron was busy among the flowers and plants with scissors and a small shovel, humming a cheerful tune. She quickly noticed the Herrscher of Sentience who had returned and greeted her happily.

"Sister Senti! You're back!"

Seele looked behind the Herrscher of Sentience, and when she saw Ana, she showed a look of surprise and confusion on her face, but it didn't last long, and then turned into a gentle smile.

"Hello, my name is Seele Vollerie!"

Ana hesitated for a moment before answering, "Hello, my name is Ana Schariac..."

Seele looked as if she was saying, "As expected." She then asked the Herrscher of Sentience, "Sister Luo Lin just chased you out. Did you meet her?"

Senti spread his hands, "Yes, but we later met with Durandal. Luo Lin got addicted to overtime and went to the training ground with Bianka. I'm afraid she won't be back until later."

Even the gentle Seele's mouth twitched. She held her forehead helplessly, "Why... Forget it, Sister Luo Lin often does this. I should be used to it..."

"Are there any guests?"

A pink head poked out from behind the wall at the corner of the house. She saw the chestnut-haired Valkyrie following the Herrscher of Sentience at a glance and then opened her mouth and shouted happily, "Wow, it's Ana!"

Ana had several question marks on her head—am I a very common species? Why do I feel like everyone here knows me?

The pink head shrank back, and a few seconds later, she ran out pushing a wheelchair. Ana noticed that there was a gray-haired man sitting in the wheelchair with his eyes closed, looking serene.

The pink girl excitedly patted the gray-haired boy's shoulder: "Su, look, it's Ana!"

"...Really."

Su turned his head to Ana. Although he did not open his eyes, Ana suddenly felt "watched."

The Valkyrie had some enlightenment—this man named Su must not be blind!

"Ana? What Ana? Where is Ana? Elysia, are you mocking me because my research progress is not progressing?"

A somewhat exasperated voice came from not far away. Ana looked in the direction of the voice and saw a green-haired girl sitting on a strange floating device rushing out of the room aggressively.

"Huh?" Ana calmed down and observed the other person carefully. Finally, she saw the clue from the blurry details—the other person appears not to be a real person, but a 3D projection!

"How could it be? I'm Miss Considerate Elf! Mobius, look over there!"

Elysia raised her arm. Mobius, who was about to lose her mind, looked in the direction of Miss Pink Elf's finger and saw Ana, who was confused and a little nervous.

"...It's really Ana!" Mobius's snake-shaped pupils shrank slightly, revealing an excited expression. She glanced at the Herrscher of Sentience standing next to her and asked, "Did you go out to look for her?"

Senti shook her head: "No, it should be a coincidence. We met on the street of Kolosten not long ago."

"...Coincidence?"

Mobius crossed her arms and tapped her arm: "I don't think so... Remember? Recently, we have been conducting experiments, part of which happened to be related to Ana."

"Now that you mention it... I did feel that there is indeed something..."

The Herrscher of Sentience frowned and looked at Ana, who was still out of the situation, and fell into deep thought.

The chestnut-haired Valkyrie was a little uneasy: "Why, what's wrong?"

Senti's mind flashed to Luo Lin's face. She pondered for a few seconds and finally made a decision.

"Let's do this, Ana. You should still be confused now, but it doesn't matter. Let's go in and sit down first, and then let me tell you everything about it."

At this time, the Herrscher's voice was soft and firm: "More communication can make things clear. Concealment and lies will generally only bring disastrous consequences."

"..."

Ana's face changed. She took a deep breath and replied: "Okay, I just want to know what all this is about. What I encountered today is really too weird..."

The Herrscher of Sentience stretched out her hand: "Please."

Everyone walked into the living room together (Su was pushed in). Senti led Ana to sit on the sofa, and Seele ran to the kitchen to bring a plate of snacks and placed it on the coffee table.

Senti originally wanted to ask Ana what she wanted to drink, but seeing the serious expression of the chestnut-haired Valkyrie, she got straight to the point.

"We are currently conducting some experiments on stigmata, stigmata resonance, and stigmata manifestation. You should know about stigmata, right? They should have been taught in the Valkyrie curriculum..."

"Yes."

Ana nodded. As one of the three families of Schicksal, the Schariac family is rich in stigmata carriers and awakeners, so they still know something about this kind of thing.

The Herrscher of Sentience pointed to the green-haired girl next to her: "That's Dr. Mobius. She and Dr. Vill-V have previously developed something called a [Stigmata Appearing Device], which can materialize the will and soul remaining in the stigmata, allowing them to communicate with us normally or work..."

"What!?"

Ana almost jumped up from the sofa: "But stigmata should be just something like a database! It can actually be related to will and soul?"

Mobius waved her hand and interrupted: "Calm down, we are also studying whether all stigmata can have this function, or only special stigmata can do this..."

"In short, this kind of research has been going on for a while. Recently, we just got a large number of special stigmata from the Bubble World... or according to Luo Lin, call them [Stigmata Resonance]."

The Herrscher of Sentience paused: "The important thing is that among these [Stigmata Resonance], some of them happen to be related to you."

Mobius cooperated to call up a picture and projected it in the middle of the living room.

Ana widened her eyes. It was a photo taken in Shelter 386. The girl with long chestnut hair was holding a personal terminal and working seriously.

"She is also called Ana. She comes from a destroyed Bubble World and looks almost exactly like you. I suspect that the experiment we conducted recently has had some effect on you. You and she have some kind of [resonance], which attracted you to Kolosten..."

The Herrscher of Sentience asked seriously, "Ana, do you have this feeling?"

Chapter 5

It was late at night, and the clanging sounds that had lasted for several hours in the training ground finally stopped. This was not because Luo Lin and Durandal were unable to continue practicing, but because they were already a little exhausted. If they continued practicing, they would not be able to summarize and learn from their experiences and lessons. It would be a waste of time and effort.

"Let's stop here today?"

Luo Lin stretched, and there was a crackling sound from her body.

Durandal nodded, "Well, I haven't had a satisfying training like this for a long time... It's really nice."

"What should I say, Bianka, very good!"

Luo Lin gave Durandal a thumbs up and praised, "It only took you a short time to master all the new spear techniques, and you taught me in return. The teaching was very organized and easy to understand... You really have the style of a good teacher!"

"Maybe it's because this is the spear technique I will use in the future. It is in the same path as the techniques I use now. There are many changes, but as long as you adjust it carefully, it doesn't take too much time to get started..."

The blonde knight smiled. She weighed the lance in her hand, her expression slightly regretful, "But this set of spear techniques can only be fully used when riding that warhorse. The combat capabilities of the [Excelsis] Battlesuit cannot match with it."

Speaking of this, Durandal recalled the attack process that she had watched Luo Lin demonstrate before. She touched her chin, frowned, and said, "Moreover, I found that there is something... strange in your movements. The whole process was not smooth, as if something was missing."

"You have a good feeling. It's correct. I am missing a special weapon."

Luo Lin spread out her hands, "In fact, this set of armor should be matched with a heavy lance similar to a cavalry spear—[Midnight's Black Light/Midnight Ataegina], which can directly fire artillery, speed up the recovery of the kinetic energy meter, and allow people to use Palatinus Equinox more faster..."

"No wonder..."

Durandal nodded thoughtfully. She looked at the black-armored warhorse beside Luo Lin with some envy. In the end, she couldn't control the impulse in her heart and reached out to touch the warhorse's head.

It felt very strange, like metal but a little soft, exuding a strange breath, making Durandal feel like she was bathing in the winter sun, with a warm and peaceful feeling. Krishna didn't mind the blonde knight's touch, and even took the initiative to rub Durandal's face—after all, [Palatinus Equinox] and Durandal are the same person.

The blonde knight smiled and patted Krishna's neck. She turned her head and asked Luo Lin, "So how did you get this set of Battlesuit and weapons? Is it a product of Schicksal R&D?"

"Of course, I drew cards from [Expanded Supply] and [Precision Supply]. No, bah bah bah..."

Luo Lin threw the strange things that popped up in her mind aside and explained, "This set of [Palatinus Equinox] armor is not a product of Schicksal R&D, but you will get it directly after you master the power of your own stigmata in the future. As for the weapon... uh, it also appeared with the armor. However, it may also have a certain connection with [Black Abyss] after Black Abyss White Flower was disassembled..."

"Oh? Is that so? Then let's try it now?"

Durandal's eyes lit up, she carried [Black Abyss White Flower] with her. The blonde knight put [Eternal Silence Helel] aside, then stretched out her hand, and the huge, flower-like spear-shaped Divine Key appeared in front of the two.

Then, she held the handle of the spear with both hands and split the lance in half like breaking chopsticks.

In a burst of light, the Divine Key was split into two smaller (but still large) lances, one black and one white—the black one was called [Black Abyss], which had the abilities of "withering" and "decomposition," and the white part was naturally called [White Flower], which had the healing power of "creation."

Durandal handed over the Black Abyss, and Luo Lin grasped the weapon without hesitation and raised it.

"...Hmm, it seems that there is no change? Did I guess wrong?"

Luo Lin tilted her head, a little confused.

At this moment, a warm current burst out from the heart of [Palatinus Equinox] and flowed into the black lance along her arm.

With a slight vibration, the appearance of the Black Abyss gradually changed, becoming more gorgeous as a whole, consistent with Krishna's color, and the lines on the lance body flashed with blue light.

[Midnight Ataegina (Lv.50)]

[Weapon Skill·Power of the Black Abyss: Launch a thrust attack, causing physical damage. If you hit an enemy that is not invincible/dominant, launch a throwing attack; during the enemy's specific moves, when the weapon button flashes, you can ignore all conditions and launch a counterattack throw, stun the enemy, and cause physical damage, not included in the cooldown time.]

[When equipped with Palatinus Equinox, the weapon skill in the Knight form is a throw attack, and the weapon skill in the Guardian form is [Cannon Blast]. Clicking the weapon skill can release the bombardment, and it will be reloaded after three consecutive releases.]

[After the fourth attack of the general attack, the Shield Ram, and the Equinox Severance, you can click the weapon skill to release a powerful joint bombardment.]

[Passive skill·Karma Cycle: The character's critical hit rate is increased, and the total damage and physical damage caused by the weapon skill are increased.]

"Huh?"

Luo Lin stared at the weapon panel that popped up in the system and looked at its passive skill in surprise—isn't this thing in Su's core Signet [Bodhi 1]?

But thinking about it carefully, this doesn't seem surprising. In [Seed of Sumeru], Su gave Durandal a trial and later gave her a something that could stabilize the Bubble World and freely use the power in it, allowing Bianka to obtain the power of [Dea Anchora]... It can be said that Su did affect the important part of Durandal's fate, and it is normal for his shadow to appear in Palatinus Equinox's special weapon.

Fortunately, in this timeline, Su did not sink directly into the depths of the quantum sea after Durandal completed the trial but was rescued by Luo Lin and Elysia together.

Although Su's physical condition is still not very optimistic as in the original plot, as long as he does not abuse his abilities, Luo Lin will use the Black Abyss White Flower to take good care of him, and he should have no problem living for decades or a hundred years.

"Teacher Luo Lin? Teacher Luo Lin?"

Durandal's call interrupted Luo Lin's train of thought. She raised her head and said with a smile, "Sorry, I was so absorbed in looking at this weapon just now... Indeed, this is what I need. But it's a little late today. Let's continue tomorrow?"

"Yes."

The blonde knight was fine. She rubbed her stomach and muttered, "I'm a little hungry..."

"Then I'll go back and make you something delicious later?"

"Yes!"

Luo Lin changed back to her original appearance and walked back home with Durandal in a familiar way.

Then, she saw Anna, like a zongzi, with detection equipments all over her body, sitting on a recliner a little awkwardly, surrounded by a bunch of detection instruments with strange styles.

Luo Lin: "?"

Next to her was the projection of Mobius dancing excitedly.

"Little white mouse, you're back. Do you want to hear my new discovery? About the resonance of the Stigmata, about the base makeup of the universe..."

Chapter 06

At the boundary of dreams, in the narrow gap between reality and imaginary numbers, in a corner of a stigmata space, the World Serpent agent [Hare] opened her eyes.

The girl with long snow-white hair, wearing a set of white clothes with some purple embellishments, looked into the distance and frowned slightly.

"...Here it comes again."

If Misteln's perception is correct, this special fluctuation has only begun to appear frequently in the past ten days in the intrinsic world, and it appears once or twice a day on average, and three or four times at most.

For example, this thing is like one of your neighbors starting to renovate their house, and he has to drill the wall every day, and it takes several minutes. And he drills at any time of day or night, and the timing is not fixed. He randomly selects several time periods within 24 hours to drill their walls.

Thanks to Misteln being the [rational type] of stigmata spirit, she is relatively indifferent and stable in terms of emotions. After being disturbed for ten days, she only had small emotions about it.

Of course, for Hare, she can actually adjust her "state" and ignore this "noise" like wearing some kind of silent earplugs, and continue to sleep in the stigmata space... But this is too boring, isn't it?

After all, Hare can't walk in the real world for a long time because of her characteristics, and she stays in the stigmata space most of the time.

Here, she doesn't have many ways to kill time. Apart from walking and stopping, Misteln can only sleep or spend a lot of effort to observe human behavior through a special way—[dreams].

As we all know, human dreams are not very logical and are far from the real world. Naturally, what Misteln sees in dreams is all kinds of strange.

But as an [ideal type], Misteln's perspective and way of thinking are highly abstract. Most humans are not very different from what she saw. Only those with very distinctive characteristics can be remembered by her.

Unfortunately, these people don't dream often, and some don't dream at all. It's only under special circumstances that their spirit and will briefly appear in the stigmata space, leaving obvious traces, allowing Misteln to interpret these traces to further understand them.

As for what the special circumstances are... Misteln believes that it must be the moment when their spirit and will "shine"—deliberating before a major decision that affects their lives, struggling to survive in a desperate situation that endangers their lives, or risking their lives to save others...

This is when ordinary people without any Honkai adaptability can also create miracles, allowing their spirit and will to break through the invisible barrier and rise to a new realm.

In a sense, this is also a kind of evolution—Misteln is happy about this.

However, compared to ordinary people, those humans who have awakened the stigmata are more likely to leave their own traces in the stigmata space.

They even have the opportunity to support a small space in this territory belonging to the "stigmata", so that part of their spirit, will, and memory will be passed down forever.

Of course, the most typical example is the Kaslana Stigmata space next door, which is super large and exudes an ominous atmosphere. Hare once visited it, but unfortunately, the other party did not intend to open the door to welcome guests.

Out of courtesy, Mistlin turned and left—of course, it was also because she felt that if she forced her way through, something bad would happen...

It's better to have less trouble than more, right?

"However, there have been more and more strange things happening in the Stigmata space recently..."

Mistlin touched her chin and recalled:

Three years ago, the Stigmata space had a not-so-small incident. According to Mistlin's investigation, it seemed that a certain area in western Europe had undergone an abnormal change, which in turn affected the Stigmata space.

Last year, a similar but larger-scale event occurred in Nagazora City in the far east. Hare even thought that a brand new Stigmata space would be born there, but after only a short time, that strange space suddenly collapsed and disappeared.

A few months later, another great rumble came from Shenzhou, and a strong fluctuation in the Stigmata space was produced that was no less extreme than the Far East incident.

Misteln naturally went to investigate as soon as possible, but soon she found that she had no way to "land" in the area where the incident occurred. As soon as she showed up, she was flushed back to the Stigmata space by the majestic imaginary and quantum forces, like flushing a toilet.

Then a few days ago, the Sea of Quanta outside the intrinsic world set off stormy waves, slapping the branches of the imaginary tree, and the vibration once spread to every corner of the Stigmata space.

This vibration even brought a batch of tit-for-tat imaginary and quantum forces, which were full of "explosiveness" like pouring water into a hot oil pan, and messed up everything.

How to say it, the abnormality of the Stigmata space even affected ordinary people. At that time, the number of people having nightmares in the world increased significantly, and countless strange and indescribable dreams filled Misteln's vision.

She even saw a floating battleship of Schicksal that seemed to be made of dreams passing through the stigmata space, which made Misteln feel terrified.

It was a good experience, but it better not come back next time.

When this storm was over, Misteln had no intention of quietly slacking off in the stigmata space—who knew if the next thing would be worse, it would be better to stay awake and vigilant.

And now, the frequent strange fluctuations in the past half a month increased, could it be a sign of the next disaster?

Misteln couldn't say, so she began to analyze these spreading fluctuations very cautiously.

"Hmm, it seems to be calling someone..."

Hare smacked her lips and observed some things: "Hmm, a very vague, large-scale stigmata power... Huh? Why does it feel to have something to do with me? No, it should be said to be related to Schariac..."

At this moment, a will that echoed the fluctuations suddenly emerged.

Misteln cast her eyes towards it and was surprised to find it from an ordinary person who had not yet awakened the stigmata.

"... It's so strange. His will and spirit do not meet any of the conditions that can be manifested in the stigmata space. Is it because of that fluctuation that he was forcibly pulled into the stigmata space when he entered the dream?"

Hare raised her eyebrows, raised her arm, and a flag appeared in her hand, with the tip pointing to the traces of will.

She closed her eyes and used her ability to connect herself with the traces left by that will. Perhaps because the way she arrived at the stigmata space was special, Misteln's process of entering this dream was a little difficult.

When Hare landed, she saw the overwhelming swarm of Honkai beasts and insects, and the mechas that were fighting with the insects—the owner of the dream was on one of the mechas, fighting bravely.

"Let me see who you are... Chen Tianwu?"

Chapter 07

"Insect... enemy... be careful... suppressive fire... watch out... hold the line..."

The bustling voices echoed in his mind, but he couldn't hear them clearly.

"Captain... ammunition... mech damaged... doctor... it's the doctor!"

Amid the huge explosion and the strong vibration that came with it, the boy frowned, feeling that he was in an unprecedented predicament—a heavy responsibility weighing on him, the weight of life.

But why me? I was just...

Before the doubt lasted for a few seconds, a figure with a strong scarlet color appeared in the boy's field of vision.

"...Why, is .....Herrscher, you..."

Incredible, painful, desperate... negative emotions almost drowned him.

But the next moment, a warm hand pulled the boy out of the quagmire, and the black-haired girl, whose face could not be seen clearly, smiled at him.

"Believe me."

"Doctor... I have nothing left, I..."

"You still have me! From now on, I am your new family!"

Hearing this voice, he turned his head suddenly, and a soft but firm figure flew over, hugged him, and then held the boy's cheek—

"Wow!"

Chen Tianwu woke up from a nightmare, sitting up suddenly and breathing rapidly.

"Huff, huff..."

His slightly dull eyes swept across the bedroom wall, the monitor power indicator on the desk, his headphones, and a small notebook that was not particularly thick.

Chen Tianwu decisively turned over and got out of bed, walked to sit in front of the desk, and opened the small notebook.

By the bright moonlight, he could vaguely see the words written on it.

[On August 5, I finally confirmed that I had a nightmare. It seemed that I heard many people crying. It was a disaster.]

[Originally, I didn't write a diary. Who would write a diary if they were serious? But now, I think it's time to write a diary. After all, who can have nightmares with similar contents for several consecutive days, and even connect them like in a TV series?]

[August 6, the same nightmare, the city was destroyed, the earth burst... Is this some kind of omen?]

[(Heavy notes) Is Manila in an earthquake zone? ——It is indeed in an earthquake zone.]

[August 7, a nightmare as expected, but I just found out that there is a monster in the dream... What is it called? Boom... Boom monster? What kind of fantasy setting, I never found that I have the talent to write novels.]

[How much savings do I have? (Several determinants)... No, I can't even rent a house for a month... I'm just a student. In fact, saving so much money is already a gift. The fat kid in the back seat even drinks frugally...]

[August 10, I forgot about it two days ago, everything is the same as before.]

[I still don't know how to tell my family that I'm going to another place to avoid the limelight for a few months. They will definitely think I'm crazy... What should I do?]

[August 11th... 12th...]

[...]

Chen Tianwu grabbed the pen, and with his other hand, he tried his best to smooth the edge of the wrinkled paper, recording what he saw and heard in his dream today.

"...Finally, I saw a girl..."

Chen Tianwu hesitated for a long time, and his face turned red for some reason. Finally, he wrote in the diary: "Although I can't remember her name, I think I... fall in love with her at first sight?"

Oh my God, am I the kind of otaku that my classmates said?

The boy shuddered, threw the pen on the table as if he had been electrocuted, then climbed back into bed, yawned loudly, and fell asleep.

---

"The stigmata resonance does have the effect of ‘resonance’... and it has additional effects for specific characters..."

Ana looked at the black-haired Valkyrie who had put on glasses and a white coat and transformed into a research-oriented scholar, and she became cautious in her words.

"Senior Luo Lin, this time I do have that clear feeling of being called."

Luo Lin nodded and wrote on the personal terminal: "Yes, the reaction is quite strong, and it finally exceeds the fluctuation of the stigmata you awakened yourself."

Ana half-opened her mouth: "Huh?"

"What I mean is that you should have received this kind of 'call' before, but Ana, you yourself awakened the stigmata inherited by the Schariac family, and the reaction of this stigmata is even greater, directly covering the sound of the stigmata resonance 'call' on our side..."

Luo Lin leaned over, stretched out her hand to hold Ana's face, and carefully observed her pupils—the chestnut-haired girl and Luo Lin's eyes met, looking at each other's eyes with charming stars, and she became trance-like.

So close...

"...?"

Luo Lin felt a little strange. Why did Ana suddenly became so sleepy, and her expression became dazed?

Is there any harm in this experiment?

The Herrscher of Sentience expressionlessly grabbed the back collar of Luo Lin's clothes and tried to make the black-haired Valkyrie straighten her back: "Okay, don't scare people, Aunt Frankenstein, you should take a look at the detection data of the instrument."

"No, observing the mental state of the subject is also a very important part."

"Isn't it more effective to use your eyes that can see emotional fluctuations?"

"Although I think you are right, but..."

Luo Lin scratched her head: "The vision of that thing is really abstract, and it is difficult for me to summarize and describe the data."

The Herrscher of Sentience rolled her eyes: "Can't you learn from Mobius and Vill-V and directly create an observation system based on your standards?"

Luo Lin was stunned: "Uh, is this a bit too..."

"I think this idea is good, you can try it."

Vill-V's projection suddenly appeared. She raised her hand, and even the mechanical arm behind her raised high to show her approval. The great magician also said: "Besides, I am actually very interested in your... emotional world. You have been learning with us for so long. Why don't you try to create an equipment that can make other people have the same vision as you?"

Hearing this, Mobius nodded vigorously: "It is similar to what I thought little mouse, I agree."

Vill-V turned her head: "When did you think of it?"

"I thought so when you said it."

"Hey?!"

She ignored the angry great magician, with a barely perceptible smile on her face, and said to Luo Lin: "You have been called a doctor for so long before, you should have some decent results that can match the title of doctor, right?"

"... Ok."

Luo Lin nodded with a wry smile.

"Knock, knock."

Just then, a knock on the door came.

Luo Lin walked to the door and opened it.

"Huh? Rita?" The elegant girl smiled and saluted Luo Lin: "Long time no see, Miss Luo Lin, I'm here to see Lady Durandal."

Chapter 8: Interpersonal Relationships

Luo Lin took Rita into the villa, where they found Durandal in the living room.

"Ah, Rita, you're here?"

At this moment, the blond knight had taken off the [Excelsis] battle suit and changed into loose pajamas. Her slightly damp hair was scattered behind her, revealing her fair shoulders and neck.

Rita was momentarily stunned but then smiled as usual. "Yes, I came to find the captain who abandoned the Immortal Blade and ran around as soon as she returned from the mission."

"How can you call it running around?"

Durandal blinked. "I came here for a mission assigned by the bishop!"

Luo Lin could testify that this was true—Otto had given Durandal an order in front of her, saying that the blond knight should observe Luo Lin's movements closely and report anything noteworthy to him.

Very arrogant Otto!

But if you think about it carefully, if Otto really wanted to cause trouble, he wouldn't use such a low-level method. Rather, he gave Durandal an excuse to get close to Luo Lin.

Durandal was happy about this. She realized her teacher had a very important secret, and her attitude towards Bishop Otto was not as friendly as that of an ordinary Valkyrie.

Bianka, who was intuitive, sensed the strange atmosphere between Otto and Luo Lin. They seemed to cooperate very smoothly but always maintained a certain degree of vigilance against each other.

Of course, Luo Lin didn't have much intention to hide from Durandal, and she basically answered every question.

This made the blond knight decide to restrain her curiosity, at least not to affect the delicate balance between Luo Lin and Otto.

After all, these two people were both teachers and friends to Durandal. If the relationship between Luo Lin and Otto deteriorated, Durandal, who was caught in the middle, would be very uncomfortable.

She didn't want her actions to accelerate this process or become the fuse that destroyed this balance. From Durandal's own point of view, even though she had become a rare S-rank Valkyrie in Schicksal, a strong person whose combat power exceeded 99% of Schicksal, dealing with interpersonal relationships was still very difficult for her.

Honest Durandal would follow Otto's orders and report any situation that deserved attention—but if she really didn't know much, it wouldn't have much impact.

Is this a kind of Durandal-style cleverness?

Rita looked around, weighed her words, and said, "Senior Luo Lin, your place is quite lively..."

Luo Lin scratched her head. "Well, it is indeed quite lively."

Not far away, Mobius and Vill-V, existing in the form of projections, were typing on the keyboard, seemingly summarizing today's experimental data.

A little closer, Elysia was harassing Su, whose brows were gradually frowning, and he looked like he was about to break down.

On the sofa next to them, the Herrscher of Sentience occupied a large space with Seele, and the two were playing the latest and most popular handheld game. In fact, Seele was initially forced to come here by Senti, but she gradually immersed herself in the game, and even a faint red light flashed in the depths of her pupils.

Rita's gaze finally fell on a relatively unfamiliar face, and she asked curiously, "Are you... Ana Schariac from the Snow Lotus Team? Why are you here?"

"Good question, I want to know too," Ana replied in a tired tone. "According to Senior Luo Lin, it seems that some stigmata caused it..."

"It's the resonance of the stigmata!" Vill-V added without even looking up.

"Uh, yes, stigma resonance." The chestnut-haired girl picked up the drink, gulped down most of it, and then sighed. "It seems that scientists are very interested in my reaction. This vacation is likely to be ruined..."

Rita was surprised. "Vacation?"

Ana cried, "Yes, I just followed my intuition and ran away from home to Kolosten for vacation... Who would have thought it would turn out like this..."

Luo Lin didn't expect Ana to have this matter and was embarrassed. "Since you are on vacation... why don't you take a good rest first..."

The Herrscher of Sentience, who was playing games, suddenly insulted her: "Wow, an overtime fanatic is asking people to take a good rest."

Luo Lin coughed a few times and glared fiercely at the Herrscher of Sentience. "Forget it, that's how life is for a Valkyrie."

The chestnut-haired girl waved her hand casually and then added, "But it's also because you have aroused my curiosity... Stigmata, things related to stigmata are rare."

Luo Lin: "... I'll talk to Amber later and make up for your vacation."

Ana was stunned. "Huh? You can actually talk to Lady Amber directly... Isn't it a bit..."

The chestnut-haired Valkyrie was a little terrified—that's Amber!

The secretary of the Archbishop of Schicksal!

It can even be said that she holds a position above ten thousand people. The things that can be notified to her should involve the flow of money starting from hundreds of millions or the position changes of the senior management of Schicksal... In short, they should all be big things!

And senior Luo Lin actually wants to talk to Secretary Amber about her vacation? It's a bit of an exaggeration...

"It's okay, she's a very nice person and speaks very kindly."

As she said that, Luo Lin dialed the phone—because according to Amber's work habits, she must not have gotten off work at this time.

Senti put down her handheld device, frowned, and began to think about the question of "the closer you are to the red, the more you are to the black."

Look at Otto, Amber, Durandal, Mobius, and Vill-V, all of them are very hardworking, and the harder they work, the more energetic they are...

No, I have to drag Luo Lin back to hang out with Theresa for a while, learn her slacking skills, or maybe Kiana is also okay?

While the Herrscher of Sentience was thinking, Amber's voice came from the phone.

"Hello, Luo Lin? What's up?"

Ana was stunned—this was almost answered in seconds!

"It's like this..."

Luo Lin briefly explained Ana's situation. Amber was silent for a few seconds after listening, then replied somewhat weakly: "Okay, I know, I will make up for her vacation..."

Luo Lin nodded quickly. "Yeah, that's good."

The bishop's secretary changed the subject and asked, "When are you going to take your annual leave?"

"Uh, I'll find a chance, ah, find a chance."

Luo Lin said perfunctorily, her finger already touching the button to hang up the phone, but Amber seemed to have noticed something and said aloud: "Miss Luo Lin, the bishop specifically asked me to tell you to pay attention to your physical and mental health—and don't forget your friends in the Far East."

"How can I forget... Well, I'll adjust my schedule and see if I can squeeze in some time..."

"You are really a busy person, Miss Luo Lin... Then I wish you to meet them soon."

Amber hung up the call, adjusted her mask, and her eyes fell on the passenger list of a transport plane flying from the Far East to Kolosten.

"Well, maybe earlier than you thought?"

Chapter 09

Let's go back a little in time, to the student dormitory of Saint Freya in the Far East Branch...

"No, we can't keep waiting like this!"

Bronya stood up, put her hands on the table, and said loudly, "Since Sister Luo Lin didn't come back to see us, let's take the initiative to go see her!"

Raiden Mei looked a little hesitant: "Uh... Is this a good idea...? Luo Lin said before that if she had free time, she would definitely come back. And didn't she call us on video the other day?"

"It was because of that phone call that Bronya got so anxious! Mei, think about Bronya's reaction when she saw the girl standing next to Sister Luo Lin that day—that was her sister Seele, whom she missed all day long."

Kiana lifted her head from her rice bowl, waving her spoon, and said with a smile, "Bronya jumped up from the sofa, leaped three feet high, and ran around the dormitory for two hours before she calmed down after the phone call ended."

Bronya launched a death stare at the white-haired ball, but it was useless.

"Oh, I remember now!"

Raiden Mei hit her palm with sudden realization. "Luo Lin said earlier that she would help Bronya find her sister. It seems that she has found her sister when she called last time!"

"...Yes, so I want to go over and reunite with Seele as soon as possible."

Bronya picked up a pillow from the sofa and whispered, "I can't wait any longer."

"How should I put it... I can understand your feelings."

Kiana put the bowl on the table, her expression becoming subtle, with a faint golden light flashing in her eyes. "I also want to find Luo Lin. I miss her, I miss her very much."

Bronya raised her head and looked at the white-haired ball, with a little pleading in her words: "Then, Kiana, can you support me? Let's go find Luo Lin together!"

Kiana nodded enthusiastically: "Okay, okay, I support you. Let's go now?"

"It's a fight to the death, let's go tonight!"

"Good sister!" "Good sister!"

The two stretched out their hands and shook them tightly together.

"..."

Raiden Mei looked at the two acting funny and sighed helplessly. "I don't have much objection to finding Luo Lin, and I also want to go with you, but... I'm afraid we need to talk to Sister Fu Hua about this matter first?"

"That's true... Fu Hua is a good person, but really... very old-fashioned..."

When Fu Hua was mentioned, Kiana's mouth twitched. She let go of Bronya's hand and collapsed on the sofa like a salted fish. "How should I put it... If I tell her about this, I'm afraid things will become very complicated and annoying, right?"

Mei blinked. "Strange, I don't think Fu Hua is that difficult to deal with. You seem to have a subtle feeling about her?"

"... Indeed."

Kiana rubbed her head irritably. She struggled for a while and finally whispered, "It's mainly because Sister Sirin feels very uncomfortable when she sees her, and I am also a little scared..."

"Sirin? She should be scared when she sees me."

"Wow, when did you come!"

The person they were talking about appeared at the door of the dormitory at some point, scaring Kiana.

"I've been here for a while."

Fu Hua adjusted her glasses and asked, "Kiana, Mei, have you felt uncomfortable in the past two days?"

Mei shook her head: "No."

Luo Lin's treatment plan for Raiden Mei was simple and effective. She directly helped her confront the Herrscher consciousness in her mind. Now that entity is still confused... Of course, it is also possible that Mei has a better understanding of her situation and has become much more stable. Even if the Herrscher consciousness wanted to cause trouble, it would be difficult.

As for Kiana, she had reached a sort of reconciliation with Sirin. Sometimes when Sirin woke up from her "sleep," she would exchange control of Kiana's body, eat and play to her heart's content, and then go back to sleep deep in Kiana's mind...

Fu Hua was naturally aware of this. She had met Sirin, who switched accounts, several times. When she saw her distinctive golden eyes, Fu Hua knew that Sirin was out for fun.

Out of caution, she would follow Sirin and keep a close eye on her movements...

Sirin naturally understood the necessity of Fu Hua doing this... but she was still very unhappy. It can only be said that under this surveillance (and being watched by someone who almost killed her), the Herrscher of the Void did not have a good time.

She missed Luo Lin. Fu Hua looked at Kiana and only spoke after the golden color in the white-haired girl's eyes disappeared: "So, you want to find Luo Lin, right?"

Bronya nodded heavily: "Yeah."

Kiana echoed: "Yes, yes!"

Fu Hua was silent for a few seconds and said, "She has indeed not been back for a long time. At least according to her original statement, it is time to give you 'treatment' now—as your temporary caregiver, I think you should be treated in time."

Raiden Mei's eyes widened slightly. "So, what do you mean...?"

"I'll go to Dean Theresa to apply. As for the form you are worried about, Kiana... I will do it for you."

Before leaving, Fu Hua took a deep look at Bronya and reminded her, "Bronya, Luo Lin trusts you, and I hope you don't do anything to embarrass her."

Bronya nodded. "Understood."

Kiana turned back and stared at the girl with gray spiral hair. "What's wrong with you? The last time Fu Hua warned me in this tone, it was because my test scores dropped a little. She even caught me when I was about to skip class and run out to rest..."

Bronya spread her hands. "In fact, I have hacked into the Far East Branch's system. If Fu Hua disagrees, I will directly exploit the loophole and run to the transport plane to find Luo Lin..."

Kiana was shocked. "Can you still do it like this?"

"Stop, stop!"

Raiden Mei stretched out her hand and flicked the heads of the two people. "Don't mess around!"

"It hurts! I want Mei to kiss me!"

Kiana covered her head in an exaggerated posture, causing Mei's fist to clench again, and the white-haired ball immediately returned to normal. The girl with gray hair whispered, "I was just a little too anxious... and..."

"And?"

"Nothing."

Facing the concerned eyes of Kiana and Raiden Mei, Bronya lowered her head and put her chin on the pillow.

In the recent practical class, Kiana had even started to challenge emperor-level Honkai beasts (of course, the battle situation was not very good), and Mei also showed amazing learning ability. She was like a sponge that lacked water, eagerly absorbing all knowledge.

And what about Bronya? She had indeed made progress, but compared to her two friends, these progress seemed a little insignificant...

After all, Bronya did not have the special abilities and identities of Kiana and Raiden Mei and was relatively just an ordinary person.

Although Kiana and Mei did not care about this matter, Bronya herself had become irritable.

She not only wanted to meet Seele but also wanted to talk to Luo Lin about herself and the future.

For example, Schicksal, anti-entropy... and her mother, Cocolia.

Luo Lin is a reliable adult, Bronya thought, she is worth relying on.

A few hours later, Fu Hua brought back the news.

"The dean agreed. Let's get ready to go to Kolosten; Luo Lin is there."

Chapter 10

"Ah, what a sunny day!"

The Herrscher of Sentience pushed open the bedroom door and stretcshed comfortably. Before she could say a few words, she turned around and found a certain black-haired Valkyrie standing in the kitchen making breakfast.

Senti's eyes suddenly turned into dead fish eyes. "Luo Lin, are you really resting?"

Luo Lin vowed, "Yes, I slept for a full seven hours!"

"That's just seven hours of rest for your body, right? The rest of the time was spent soaking in the Elysian Realm?" the Herrscher raised her eyebrows. "I mean, how long has your spirit completely rested?"

"Uh, well..."

Faced with the increasingly unkind expression of the Herrscher of Sentience, Luo Lin had no choice but to reveal the truth: "About half an hour."

"Is that even possible?" Senti was incredulous. "Obviously no one has arranged any work for you. I don't know where you find so much work all day long!"

"It's the Honkai chasing after me, giving me endless motivation... Oh, and now I have to add the Tree of Imaginary Numbers and the Sea of Quanta."

The black-haired Valkyrie teased and continued to deal with the things at hand.

The Herrscher of Sentience quickly came over and asked, "Why did you suddenly think of making bread? Wasn't it all Shenzou breakfast the past few days? Soy milk, fried dough sticks, and so on."

Luo Lin replied without raising her head, "Durandal is here, so I thought I'd make a localized breakfast."

Of course, it was also because Luo Lin felt some fluctuations in the stigmata of Cecilia behind her. It was most likely that she wanted to do something after seeing her daughter... So Luo Lin chose to make toast like Cecilia in Nagazora.

Senti shook her head exaggeratedly. "Tsk tsk... You are so considerate."

Luo Lin: "...If you want some, I can make it for you. It's not troublesome."

"Forget it, it's good to change the taste once in a while."

In the end, the Herrscher of Sentience naturally took away a breakfast prepared by Luo Lin. In addition to bread, it included fried eggs, bacon, vegetable salad, and steaming milk. She sat on the sofa and turned on the TV.

Not long after, Ana walked out of the guest room of the villa. she took a deep breath and said in surprise, "It smells so good... Huh? Senior Luo Lin, you're making bread... bread..."

The cshestnut-haired girl half-opened her mouth and widened her eyes—

Behind Luo Lin, the spatula "magically" floated in the air, flipping the fried eggs and bacon in the pan. the fried ingredients then flew to the plate next to them, building up to an exaggerated sheight. the vegetables lined up to be "cut" by the kitchen knife and then lay down in the bowl to "exercise" with the salad...

"...Magic?"

After holding it in for a long time, Ana finally spoke.

The Herrscher of Sentience's eyes twitched, coughed, and reminded her, "Child, use your perception more..."

"Well..."

Ana calmed down for a moment, then observed carefully. After a while, her expression became even more horrified. "Is Honkai energy making breakfast?!"

Anyone in the industry knows that Honkai energy is quite wild, and controlling it is like riding a wild horse. Precise control is even more difficult—Ana couldn't imagine how Luo Lin could use Honkai energy to make breakfast with such multitasking, but that’s what was happening.

Senti said without surprise, "Luo Lin is like this."

Ana looked down at her hands. she held her breath and produced several ice crystals, trying to manipulate them in multiple ways like Luo Lin—she naturally failed.

She glanced at Luo Lin with a complicated expression, finding the black-haired Valkyrie looked as usual, cooking with great interest, without any effort at all.

Ana could only sigh. "I'll just think of it as Luo Lin-senpai exercising her Honkai ability."

"Morning!"

Durandal and Rita appeared together. Rita looked at the scene of "demons dancing" behind Luo Lin, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Honkai energy can be used this way! I’ve learned something new!"

Obviously, Rita felt that the tricks Luo Lin was using now were valuable and could be added to her "Maid Skills Collection."

"Good morning. Eat while it's hot. If you don't have enough, come back for more."

Luo Lin handed over three breakfasts, then called to the corner of the stairs not far away, "Seele, come down and have breakfast wshen you wake up!"

An angry voice came from the other side: "...Don't call me, I'm restraining my desires!"

"?"

Luo Lin tilted her head. After a few seconds, a lightbulb went off in her head—based on that attitude, there was a high probability that Veliona was logged-in!

Luo Lin has a certain attraction to Veliona. She speculates that this may be related to Veliona's identity being closer to the quantum side.

"Phew... I'm ready!"

Seele, her eyes turned red, walked down the stairs. she tried her best to show a restrained smile, but no matter what, it looked a little off.

Senti commented, "You've tried very hard, but it still doesn't seem enough... Do you want me to help?"

Veliona replied, "Thank you, no need."

Sentience shrugged. "Okay."

Surprisingly, Veliona did not show an "excessive" attitude towards Luo Lin during the subsequent breakfast time, which made Luo Lin ask her how she managed it.

Veliona proudly replied, "As long as I think about Seele more and have no time to care about you, everything is fine."

Luo Lin was completely defeated. Why is Seele single-handedly winning others?

However, Veliona obviously couldn't sustain this "There's only one wife I had" state for long. Not long after finishing breakfast, Seele's eyes returned to blue.

The girl lowered her head in embarrassment. "Sister Luo Lin, I agreed with my other me that she should come out to rest today... But if she is too close to you, she will not be able to enjoy well, so I want to go out of the house today and look around Kolosten..."

"Of course, no problem, but..." Luo Lin bent down and whispered in Seele's ear, "If you meet someone who talks a lot, or someone who suddenly makes you feel friendly, or someone who looks like they deserve a beating, or maybe men and women with blond hair..."

Luo Lin paused and waved her hand. "Forget it, it's too much to let you hit someone with such characteristics. You may hit innocent strangers, but otherwise, Otto will definitely slip through the net... In short, be vigilant and pay attention to safety."

"Oh, oh..."

Seele blinked in confusion, then turned and left.

Durandal watcshed the girl go out and then asked Luo Lin, "Okay, teacher, shall we continue practicing today?"

"Of course, continue... Ana, you can come with us. Today's research from the Realm doesn't require you to stay in the villa. They have collected enough data."

Luo Lin waved to Ana. "Valkyries usually need to practice a lot of their skills. Practicing with other Valkyries is undoubtedly the best choice to improve their skills."

"Yes!"

Ana and Durandal looked at each other with bright smiles. "Bianca, we haven't practiced together like ther for a long time, right?"

"It's been a long time. We have rarely seen each other since you joined the Snow Lotus Squad and were stationed in Southeast Asia." The blonde knight also smiled. "Today, I have to make up for all the time we've missed."

"I'm extremely happy!"

Chapter 11

On the training ground, Ana and Durandal were facing off.

What surprised Luo Lin was that the chestnut-haired Valkyrie's weapon was not the classic heavy lance thicker than her arm, but a slender spear similar to the Shenzhou styled spears.

Ana did not rush to attack but walked steadily around the blond knight, observing for flaws while keeping the spear tip always pointed at Durandal.

Under her feet, a translucent blue ice surface gradually spread, soon covering most of the training ground. A lot of pale white cold air precipitated on the ice surface, making visibility less clear.

Durandal raised her eyebrows, stomped heavily on the ground, and a circular energy shock wave burst out, dispersing the ice around her along with the cold air.

At this moment, Ana thrust her spear forward, and many ice cones condensed by Honkai energy followed, rushing towards Durandal like a whirlwind.

Dang! Shua la la——

The blond knight raised her heavy lance and hit the tip of Ana's lance very accurately. The huge force forced Ana to change direction and pass by Durandal, while the ice cones around her were collected by Durandal's floating shield, leaving only a crackling sound.

Then, Ana, far from Durandal, slid on the ice. Her figure was looming in the mist, and slender ice spears and cones flew from all angles.

Looking at the scene on the training ground, Luo Lin fell into deep thought: "This kind of fighting style... Ana can’t be considered a javelin character, right?"

Durandal responded calmly. The defense formed by her heavy lance and shield was impenetrable. The fragments formed by the ice cones and spears piled up in the gaps of her armor and under her feet.

"Buzz!"

The scattered ice fragments suddenly flashed a different light, and the "stars" connected into lines, spreading and climbing on Durandal's body. In an instant, a thick layer of ice shell covered the blond knight. The cold air also invaded her body through this ice shell, delaying her movements as much as possible.

Luo Lin blinked: "Is the frozen debuff meter full?"

At the same time, Ana appeared from the mist, holding the spear with both hands. Blue energy wrapped around the spear like a ribbon, echoing the cold air all over the blond knight's body. She was very fast and stabbed straight at Durandal!

"Crack!"

A huge cracking sound came from the front, and Ana's face changed drastically. The Durandal she had "trapped" with great difficulty broke free in the blink of an eye.

The blond knight extended her hand, and Durandal's floating shield was actually used as an offensive weapon. Like a giant axe, it chopped at Ana with great force, blowing away all the ice and cold air around her, leaving Ana no choice but to avoid the battle.

This was the inspiration Durandal had previously obtained from [Palatinus Equinox]. After yesterday's hard training, she could already showcase her skills in the spar!

Ana barely fought a few moves with Durandal. She did feel that the blond knight was affected by the cold air, and her speed and strength were weakened, but this was still not an opponent she could face head-on.

After watching her spear bend in an exaggerated way several times in a row, Ana could no longer hold on and called a halt to the sparring: "I give up! Bianka, you are amazing!"

"You are not bad either, Ana. The move of accumulating cold air and ice debris just now was very skilled!"

Durandal leaned on her training lance and exhaled a long breath. Visible cold air gushed out of her nostrils. The blonde knight rubbed her face hard a few times and jumped for a long time before recovering.

Ana raised her hand with a bitter smile. She could hardly feel her arm now. Durandal's attack was so powerful that it almost crushed the chestnut-haired Valkyrie's defense.

"Shua——"

Just then, Luo Lin came over holding the pale golden mimicry of Black Abyss White Flower. The warm light shone on the two of them, dispelling the fatigue and damage caused by the previous battle.

"Thank you..." Ana thanked her very obediently, but soon her eyes were attracted by the white spear in Luo Lin's hand.

The chestnut-haired Valkyrie quickly reacted and exclaimed: "Is this the Black Abyss White Flower!?"

Luo Lin waved her hand and said something that made Ana full of questions: "It's a mimicry, not the authentic Black Abyss White Flower... but it has the same effect as the authentic one."

Do you understand the value of the Key of Revelation?

"By the way, Ana, why are you using this thin spear?" Luo Lin couldn't help but ask, "Logically speaking, shouldn't the Schariac family use long spears to eventually get the [Black Abyss White Flower]? Why don't you use a heavy cavalry spear similar to the Divine Key?"

"You must think that because the Kaslana family next door has a set of spear fighting skills, right?"

Ana scratched her head: "You may have some misunderstandings. Not all Schariac Valkyries want to use the Black Abyss White Flower! The Divine Key is not that easy to get, uh..."

The chestnut-haired Valkyrie looked at the glowing mimic Black Abyss White Flower in Luo Lin's hand with a subtle expression.

"...Although I did have this idea at the beginning."

She sighed and muttered: "But when I practiced more with Bianka when I was a child, I found that I couldn't beat her at all, and as time went by, the gap between us became bigger and bigger. Occasionally, I saw Bishop Otto come to take care of Bianka... At that time, I knew that the Black Abyss White Flower would most likely be given to Bianka."

Durandal looked a little embarrassed: "Ana..."

The chestnut-haired Valkyrie smiled and winked: "It's okay, thanks to you, I found that I am actually more suited to that kind of agile style... Now I have achieved some success."

The blond knight said with a bit of a smile: "You said you only achieved some success. Okay, then what about the other Valkyries who haven't reached A-level..."

"Hey!"

Ana stuck out her tongue and changed the subject: "Senior Luo Lin, this... copy of Black Abyss White Flower? Mimicry? Can you lend it to me to touch? I want to try it too..."

Durandal said: "Actually, if you want, I can give you the real Black Abyss White Flower."

The chestnut-haired Valkyrie's eyes lit up: "Can I?"

The blonde knight pulled out a white spear and handed the handle to Ana: "Why not? It's just that I only have this part of [White Flower], and the rest is in Teacher Luo Lin's hands..."

"Here."

Luo Lin also took out [Black Abyss] and put it in Ana's other hand.

The chestnut-haired Valkyrie was at a loss holding the two spears, one black and one white, with an unconcealable surprise on her face.

When Ana started to study with the Divine Key, Durandal turned around and invited Luo Lin to train: "How about continuing our progress from yesterday?"

"Of course, no problem. It just so happens that I spent the whole night studying with the Haxxor yesterday and was able to mimic the Equinox's Special Weapon!"

"Sigh~"

Rita's eyes widened, and her pupils shook!

At this moment, two Durandals appeared in front of her, each with their own style!

"Senior Luo, Luo Lin, how did you...?!"

Rita's speech became stammering.

"Oh, this is my special ability, isn't it amazing!"

[Palatinus Equinox] showed a brilliant smile that Durandal herself could hardly show, and then made a "yeah" gesture to Rita.

Durandal also chimed in: "Yes, Teacher Luo Lin has a very powerful ability... But don't worry too much, Rita, you should be able to easily tell the difference between the two of us... Hey, wait, Rita, why are you bleeding from the nose?!"

"... Well, I've been eating too much nutritious food recently, and I'm getting hot."

Rita explained incoherently, with a peaceful face.

Luo Lin: "You might as well say that this is your overflowing loyalty, like the knife maid in a certain unknown studio next door..."

Chapter 12

"Finally, we're here!"

Kiana took a deep breath and reached out to comb her slightly messy hair. Unfortunately, the small tuft of hair on her head wouldn't lie flat no matter what she did...

However, this tuft of hair had been with Kiana for a long time, and it had always been so "stubborn." She had almost gotten used to its existence. The white-haired girl made a few symbolic efforts and then focused her attention elsewhere.

"Kolosten..."

She stared at this classic European street scene in a trance and didn't say anything for a long time, even making Raiden Mei, who was following Kiana, look puzzled—according to Kiana's usual antics at Saint Freya, she should have been running around like a husky by now, but here she was, acting so... normal?

Mei couldn't help asking, "Kiana, what are you looking at?"

"It feels a little... familiar here?"

The white-haired girl said hesitantly, her tone carrying some confusion, uneasiness, and... timidity.

"Familiar?"

Mei thought for a moment and asked, "Is it because you've lived here before, so you have this feeling?"

Kiana blinked: "...Huh?"

"Have you forgotten? History class mentioned that Kolosten was once the headquarters of Schicksal, but with the changes of the times and the advancement of technology, its status has gradually become delicate..."

Raiden Mei counted on her fingers and spoke freely: "After Schicksal Floating Island was built, Kolosten became the 'old headquarters,' retaining only a part of the research and production facilities, and letting many family members of Schicksal employees live here. As one of the three pillars of Schicksal, the Kaslana family naturally has a place here... As a child of the Kaslana family, you probably lived here before."

"Is that so? Oh, I remember... This was mentioned in history class, but it probably wasn't a test point, so I didn't remember it clearly..."

Kiana scratched her head and whispered, "Actually... Mei, when I was a child, I had an accident that made me lose a lot of memories, and I even forgot my own name for a while... Maybe you're right, maybe I did live in Kolosten, which is why I feel a sense of familiarity..."

Raiden Mei was stunned for a moment: "Ah... Kiana... I'm sorry..."

"It's okay!" Kiana winked at the girl with long blue and purple hair, then raised her arm to make a "strong" gesture. "Look at me now, I'm so healthy—besides, it's normal to not remember things from childhood; it doesn't affect my life at all!"

Mei looked at the white-haired girl, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. She reached out and touched Kiana's face: "Okay, okay, I know. Let's go around this place more later; maybe some scene will evoke your memory?"

"Yeah!"

Kiana rolled her eyes and said, "Anyway, this trip is for business, but in a sense, it can be considered a holiday... Sister Luo Lin is so considerate; she will definitely cooperate with us!"

She turned around and waved to Bronya and Fu Hua, who were not far away: "Here, here, hurry up!"

"...It seems that Kiana has returned to normal."

Fu Hua adjusted her glasses and looked at the girl with gray spiral hair: "What about you, Bronya?"

"Bronya has always been normal. Now she's just calming down... making some necessary preparations."

The girl swallowed and looked at her fists, which she had clenched at some point. Her nails had left obvious marks on her palms.

Bronya knew that she would soon be able to see her sister Seele, whom she had been thinking about day and night, but at this time she hesitated and even felt timid.

She finally said: "...It's just like a dream."

"If you ask me, the most important thing you should do now is run to Luo Lin and stay with the person you want to see the most," Fu Hua commented sharply. "This way, you won't feel worried about gains and losses."

The girl with gray hair and a double helix subtly shifted her gaze and said stubbornly: "Bronya didn't..."

"Hehe." Fu Hua's mouth curled up slightly. "What are you still hesitating about? Let's go."

"...Yeah."

Fu Hua pulled Bronya to catch up with Kiana and Mei, and the four of them walked side by side.

Deep in the heart of the white-haired girl, the existence named Sirin pursed her lips.

Amnesia... Tsk, Kiana, do you really believe what Siegfried said...

She looked around, the bizarre world of consciousness flashing with colorful lights, and here, there was an extremely obvious and unignorable hole, with a dark, pus-like liquid flowing out of it.

[Kill... humans...]

[Destroy... everything...]

The purple-haired and golden-eyed Herrscher looked at the hole with disgust. She probably understood that this was a weak point in Kiana's spirit, and the "malice" from the Honkai was invading here through the hole.

"This is not just my problem... my dear sister..."

Sirin had tried to block the hole with her own power or to find a way to eliminate some "malice," but because she and this "malice" had subtle commonalities, her attempts had little effect and even affected Sirin's existence. It could be said that she killed 1,000 enemies but lost 800 of her own.

Although Sirin could still suppress the invasion of "malice" by sleeping, this was ultimately a temporary solution.

Moreover, Sirin also found that the intensity of the "malice" invasion seemed to be gradually increasing... one day, the situation would get out of control.

Fortunately, Luo Lin's previous "emotion diffusion" therapy had a miraculous effect on this "malice," just like snowflakes under the sun, easily evaporating and melting the dark pus, giving Sirin a good "living environment."

Sirin couldn't help but say: "Hurry up, Kiana, don't dawdle! If it doesn't work, you can use my Herrscher power to open a portal, okay?"

"Don't rush, Sister Sirin, we just came to Kolosten, and we don't even know the direction. What if we open the portal into a building or the ground like last time? That's too embarrassing... It's better to walk directly!"

Kiana, who was holding Raiden Mei's hand, replied.

"Hmph..."

Sirin closed her eyes, out of sight, out of mind.

However, in the void of the consciousness world, in the dark pus that the purple-haired Herrscher was unwilling to observe, a tiny golden light flashed by, dangerous and mysterious, extremely hidden, just like... the reflection of some kind of silk thread.

Chapter 13

"Rita? Rita?"

"Hmm..."

Under Ana's continuous calls, the vice-captain of the Undying Blade finally came to her senses and reluctantly moved her eyes away from [Bright Knight·Excelsis] and [Palatinus Equinox].

"Rita, are you okay?"

"I'm actually fine..."

Rita coughed and quickly adjusted her expression to a normal one... that is, the kind of smile with a mysterious atmosphere that made many players call Rita a bad woman.

However, the handkerchief she held in her hand, which she had used to wipe her nosebleed, destroyed the atmosphere Rita wanted to create.

"Puff... Hmm..."

Ana really couldn't help laughing out loud.

The vice-captain of the Undying Blade could only change her method and stared at Ana with a sense of oppression. Ana understood the other party's mood at the moment—it must be quite embarrassing to be seen by acquaintances in such a state of disgrace.

So, the chestnut-haired Valkyrie put away her smile and changed the subject very smoothly: "Long time no see, Rita... How have you been recently?"

"To be honest, apart from being a little tired, everything has been pretty good."

Rita looked at Ana, her expression softened a little: "But, Ana, you have had a very fulfilling two years... By the way, congratulations on your promotion to A-rank Valkyrie, I hope this congratulations is not too late."

"Ahaha... Actually, I should be the one thanking you and Bianka. It was my luck to meet you when I was a child—I had basically no friends at that time. I don't have many friends, or even acquaintances. Thanks to Bianka and you for training with me, we finally became friends..."

The chestnut-haired Valkyrie scratched her head and wherpered, "Whenever I feel discouraged, I will think of how hard Bianka and you work, and then I will cheer up and continue living. otherwise, the overly heavy expectations of the Schariac family would probably really crush me and turn me into an ordinary Valkyrie..."

Rita was stunned for a moment, then patted Ana on the shoulder: "You underestimate yourself a little, Ana. I think you are very talented; even if you didn't meet us, you would still be able to live like this... You can definitely become an A-rank Valkyrie."

"Maybe... but it wouldn't be as easy as it is now."

"Easy?" Rita raised her eyebrows, "this is the first time I've heard someone use the word easy to describe the profession of Valkyrie."

Ana thought for a few seconds and said, "Indeed, it seems a little inappropriate... but after making friends with you, I found that I can look at things from a different perspective. Many things are not as difficult as I imagined, and..."

The chestnut-haired girl gestured with her hands twice, gritting her teeth and said, "And, I will never forget the days of training with Bianka. She made progress almost every day, just like riding a rocket, which stimulated me... At that time, I made up my mind to prove that I was not inferior to her—finally, I became an A-rank Valkyrie!"

Ana paused and continued weakly: "But Bianka... got stronger too fast..."

"She hasn't stopped getting stronger yet." Rita touched her bangs and sighed, "Alas, I have also worked hard to catch up with Durandal..."

The two looked at each other and chuckled.

"It's hard for you to be to..."

Beside Rita and Ana, the Herrscher of Sentience, who had not interrupted, suddenly felt something. She turned her head and looked in a certain direction outside the training ground.

The Herrscher of Sentience had a subtle expression and muttered: "Tsk, the troublesome guy is here."

——————————————————————

On the other side of Kolosten, Bronya suddenly called out Project Bunny.

This was not because she suddenly sensed the Herrscher of Sentience, but...

"My intuition tells Bronya that Seele must be nearby!" She declared confidently.

"Ah?"

Kiana widened her eyes and searched among the crowd around her: "Where is she? Why can't I see her?"

Raiden Mei's mouth twitched: "Bronya, is your... intuition reliable?"

"Trust Bronya!"

Bronya nodded heavily: "Project Bunny, turn on the 'Seele Radar'!"

A beeping sound came from the huge robot, and it flew up under the gaze of everyone, then circled a little, and finally pointed to the roof of a building on the corner of the street.

"It's the remnant of quantum energy... Seele should have used her power there... Well, Project Bunny found traces of someone standing there, and the traces were not left for long—compared with the size, it should be Seele's."

The girl with gray hair and double helix seemed a little confused: "Strange, why is it the roof? Is there anything that needs to be done up there, Seele..."

As for this question... Actually, Seele herself is not very clear, so she asked directly: "Why is the other me running around on the roof?"

Veliona, who was about to jump from the roof of one house to the roof of the next, stopped and seemed to realize that something was wrong.

"Uh... subconsciously..."

"Subconsciously?"

Faced with Seele's question, Veliona touched her chest and seemed a little embarrassed...

Because after the X-10 experiment fell into the Sea of Quanta, Seele and Veliona made an agreement that when one person was resting, the other person could operate the body to move.

Because Seele felt that it was really unfair that the other her was nestling in the body all day and could not move independently, Veliona faced Seele's kindness, although she kept nagging that she didn't it, but in the end he still honestly accepted the agreement.

Later, Seele was confusedly caught by the Sea of Quanta and brought to the bubble of other worlds, and fortunately met Luo Lin—Veliona also found that her body had undergone some changes, most of which were good, including the improvement of quantum energy control strength, and the combat power was enhanced by more than a little bit. Even in an environment filled with quantum energy, Veliona can appear and move independently for a short time...

Of course, there are also bad effects, such as Veliona's "heartbeat" when she sees Luo Lin... Don't laugh!

Who is Luo Lin, how can she be attracted to her? (Disdain)

Although this woman does have a good relationship with Bronya, and helped find a way for Seele to talk to Bronya across the barrier between the real world and the Sea of Quanta, and even took the initiative to go deep into the Sea of Quanta and rescue Seele at great risk... Tsk, why do I feel that she's quite nice?

Ahem, in short, after leaving the Sea of Quanta, Veliona lost the environment where she could move freely and unscrupulously. She had to return to Seele's body and wait until Seele rested before sneaking out and strolling around Kolosten Street at night... To be precise, not on the street, but on the roof.

After all, after Veliona got on board, the atmosphere around her was not so gentle, but very aggressive and deterrent. Coupled with the eyes flashing blood-red light, it was easy to scare others.

Last time, she scared two naughty kids who came out for "exploration" at night and made them cry loudly. They struggled for a long time, and then the noise here attracted the Valkyries stationed in Kolosten. In the end, Luo Lin personally came out to deal with these troubles.

After that, Veliona decided to hang around on the roof. Anyway, there were not many shops open at that time, so it would be good to see the night view of Kolosten...

As a result, Seele gave control to Veliona during the day today, and she rushed to the roof in a flash, looking like she didn't want to see other people.

This made Seele a little distressed.

"Another me, let's go shopping normally. I remember that your taste is different from mine. Today you can try your favorite snacks and drinks..."

"Hmm..."

Veliona was a little moved, but she suddenly turned her head and looked into the distance: "Do you feel it? That breath... is Project Bunny."

Seele shouted happily: "Yes, that's right, it's Sister Bronya! Sister Bronya is here!"

"Let's go!"

Veliona made a prompt decision and turned to rush to the place that exuded a familiar breath—of course, by jumping on the roof, the straight line between two points is the shortest!

As for Bronya, she obviously also noticed Seele's actions and approached her quickly.

Seele and Bronya walked towards each other, and soon they saw each other's figures.

"Sister Bronya!"

"Seele!"

Veliona retracted into her body without anyone knowing when, allowing Seele to come to the front of the stage.

Seele ran, tapped her toes lightly, and swooped down from a high place.

Bronya raised her head and let Project Bunny help her, and cleverly caught Seele.

"I'm back!"

"Welcome back..."

Kiana looked at the scene of the two people hugging each other tightly, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's great, I want to..."

Mei held Kiana's hand.

The white-haired ball was stunned for a moment, and her face was slightly red.

Just then, Sirin spoke: "Humph, don't forget why you are here, I have locked Luo Lin's position, you go, I will open a portal..."

"Didn't you say that opening a portal is risky?"

"I can't wait!"

The white-haired ball's eyes turned golden. She looked at Raiden Mei, the girl with blue-purple hair, and knew that it was no longer Kiana standing opposite, so she politely let go of her hand.

"...I opened the portal at a high place; at least it can ensure that we will not get stuck in the wall or the soil." Sirin took a deep breath and drew a circle with her finger next to it.

The dark portal with golden and purple colors was easily opened by her. Then, the Herrscher of the Sky stepped into it——

"Luo Lin!" She called out loudly.

"Kiana, what are you doing...!?" Luo Lin felt the breath of space fluctuation nearby.

She rushed out using Krisina and found a familiar golden-rimmed portal floating above the training ground. The body of the white-haired ball leaned out from it, stepped on the air, and fell down.

Without thinking too much, she swung the reins, and the black-armored warhorse neighed and took Luo Lin to the sky. Soon, Luo Lin hugged the white-haired ball. She breathed a sigh of relief and lowered her head to look at the person in her arms.

"Sirin?"

The pufferfish was also looking at Luo Lin. She puffed her lips and muttered, "...A new look again?"

"Uh, yes."

For no reason, Luo Lin felt a little guilty.

"I don't like it, change it back!"

"...Okay."

Chapter 14

Luo Lin brought Sirin and Raiden Mei, who were riding Kiana, back to the training ground. She greeted Durandal and interrupted today's training.

Durandal and the white-haired ball stared at each other. The striking and oppressive golden eyes had no intention of hiding or disguising, releasing their presence wantonly.

The blonde knight blinked and took the initiative to avoid this kind of eye contact that seemed confrontational. her eyes moved down and fell on the conjoined hands held by Sirin and Luo Lin...

It was evident that this was not initiated by Luo Lin. Her expression was embarrassed, but she did not dare to take the initiative to withdraw her hand.

"Hello, Lord Durandal."

Raiden Mei greeted very politely. At first glance, it was clear she was a good child who had received proper education.

As for Sirin... she just hummed, indicating that she heard it.

Luo Lin squeezed Sirin's hand helplessly: "Say hello nicely, don't be so angry. Relaxing your mind is good for yourself and others."

"Hello, Durandal..."

Sirin muttered reluctantly, and after saying this, she stretched out her hand and drew a circle in the air. With her action, a horizontal portal parallel to the ground appeared inside the training ground, and Bronya and Seele fell out of the portal.

"Wow!"

Seele screamed, and the dark red in her eyes was about to burst, but fortunately, Bronya hugged Seele's body the next moment, and then let the Project Bunny support herself, finally landing lightly on the training ground.

Bronya breathed a sigh of relief. She looked around and glared at the white-haired ball not far away: "Kiana!"

Sirin replied leisurely: "I'm not her."

"Tsk! Sirin..."

Bronya recognized the voice. She gritted her teeth, exhaled heavily, and muttered: "Next time you want to go out at night, I won't cover for you! Wait for Fu Hua to nag!"

"What nagging?"

Fu Hua emerged from the portal at this time. She landed calmly and patted her hands - the portal had opened at her feet, and Fu Hua had actually jumped to a safe place without a leverage point.

After a few seconds of observation, Fu Hua determined that this was probably a portal opened by Kiana or Sirin for quick assembly. After adjusting her mindset, she jumped in.

Luo Lin was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Sirin: "...Have you done this kind of thing in Saint Freya?"

Sirin's eyes flickered, and she seemed to regret it, but she quickly turned her head away, pretending to be tough: "Yes, so what!"

"Well, nothing... It seems that you have been feeling very depressed during this period. This is my fault."

"Ah?"

The Herrscher of the Void half-opened her mouth, never expecting Luo Lin to take the blame in this way.

Luo Lin touched her chin and said, "I've been so absorbed in research recently that I forgot you were still waiting for me in Saint Freya... Moreover, I found that many people here need to export their consciousness and souls to other bodies..."

Not only Kiana and Sirin, Seele and Hei Xi, Raiden Mei and her good friends (doubtful) need this method, but also the stigmata of Cecilia, Phantom Thief Kallen, Fuxi, Nuwa, and other lively stigmata on Luo Lin's hand, as well as a larger group of survivors brought back from the Bubble World, also need this technology...

Oh, and the Flamechasers in the Elysian Realm. Luo Lin understands that although there are indeed heroes who do not want to leave the paradise of the past life, others actually want to go out and see the outside world.

It's just that due to their extremely special way of existence, ordinary soulium robot bodies can't even carry their "consciousness," let alone take them out of Paradise...

Looking back at Otto Apocalypse, who is running soulium clones all over the world, Luo Lin has to wonder if Archbishop Destiny has made some "radical" adjustments to his soul and consciousness.

Fortunately, Luo Lin has solutions to these problems.

Vill-V and Mobius's [Stigmata Device] is probably a way to solve the stigmata and stigmata resonance activities, while Luo Lin herself intends to start from the system loopholes discovered earlier.

Do you remember that Luo Lin used some small bugs, contributed her Valkyrie card and the Leader of the Valkyrie Slot Team, and let Seele cross the barrier between reality and the quantum to descend, allowing Elysia to escape the restrictions of [Elysian Realm] and move around?

The rules and mysteries in this are very worthy of her research.

"Hey, hey!"

Sirin waved her hand in front of Luo Lin's eyes, her expression quite unhappy: "Why are you distracted again while talking?"

"Sorry..."

"Then you have to compensate!"

"Uh, what compensation do you want?"

"I w-"

"Let me handle this..."

Before Sirin could finish her words, the Herrscher of Sentience could not help it. She rushed to Luo Lin's side, raised her arm, and skillfully exerted force with her fingertips to separate Sirin and Luo Lin's hands, interrupting the Herrscher of the Void.

The Herrscher of Sentience gritted her teeth and said heavily: "Too much, Sirin!"

"Oh?"

Sirin looked at Fu Hua, who was dressed neatly not far away, then looked at the gray-haired Herrscher in front of her. Her expression was a little flustered.

But the girl with white hair and golden eyes found that Fu Hua was just standing beside her thoughtfully, with no intention of interfering, so the Herrscher of the Void quickly became bold again.

She responded to the Herrscher of Sentience with a subtle smile: "What are you talking about? I don't understand - Herrscher of Sentience~"

"Really don't understand what I mean?"

A dark red light flashed in the eyes of the Herrscher of Sentience, and the shape of a black feather flashed faintly around her. She took a breath and seemed to have sensed something extraordinary: "Wait, you actually... Tsk! I..."

The Herrscher of Sentience puffed up her mouth and looked back at Luo Lin. At this moment, she looked more like a pufferfish than a person, and there was a hint of being a loser.

"Ah? Wait..."

Luo Lin was confused for a moment, but she quickly came to her senses and widened her eyes:

Could it be that the compensation Sirin wanted just now was similar to when she lost control and forcefully kissed her before, or even futher...

As a result, after being stimulated by Sirin, the Herrscher of Sentience used her power and saw Sirin's thoughts, and there was a first-person perspective of the previous act...

Just a few seconds after Luo Lin reacted, the Herrscher of Sentience silently turned off her power. She clenched her fists and breathed rapidly, as if she was very angry.

"Hehe~ Why don't you continue to watch?"

Sirin licked the corner of her mouth and narrowed her eyes slightly.

The Herrscher of Sentience's mouth twitched: "Unrealistic fantasy, it's better not to watch."

"Are you sure this will only remain a fantasy?"

The Herrscher of Sentience sneered: "I'm sure that Luo Lin's brain has not evolved to this point."

Luo Lin: "..."

What's going on? I was shot while being a bystander?

Also, is this the legendary Shura Field now?

Chapter 15

Luo Lin felt herself breaking out in a sweat. At this moment, Sirin was on her left, and the Herrscher of Sentience was on her right. The two of them exuded a strange atmosphere, clearly competing with each other. They sandwiched Luo Lin in the middle, getting closer and closer. In the end, Luo Lin could even feel the temperature of Sirin and Sentience on her arm, as well as the soft touch faintly visible.

Fortunately, the two did nothing worse and just looked at each other, almost lying on Luo Lin.

Luo Lin half-opened her mouth, looked around, and finally cast a look of help to Ana and Durandal, who were standing not far away.

Faced with this scene, Ana blushed like a little girl—no, she hasn't been in love with anyone yet; she's just a pure little girl. Although it's quite common for girls to like girls in the Valkyrie group of Schicksal, it's the first time Ana has seen two girls like the same target so directly, fiercely competing against each other.

The chestnut-haired Valkyrie sighed subconsciously: "Too amazing, is this the senior who can teach Bianka?"

The blonde knight sighed: "Forget about this kind of teaching..."

"Also, Bianka, if my ears are not broken, did they just say something about Herrscher?"

"Yes, you heard it right, they are Herrschers."

"Ah?!"

Durandal predicted Ana's reaction in advance, stretched out her hand, and pressed firmly on the chestnut-haired girl's shoulder, successfully pinning her down.

"Herrscher, Herrscher, Herrscher..."

"Okay, don't worry, at least they are safe now."

Ana shuddered, looking at the two people fighting not far away. The vigilance she had just raised in her heart disappeared without a trace, replaced by thick confusion.

-Is the Herrscher like this?

Durandal's face showed a little melancholy that she herself did not even realize, and this abnormality flashed by. Finally, Durandal spread her hands and signaled to Luo Lin that she was powerless.

Raiden Mei was in a dilemma. Kiana once told her that she had a sister who was a Herrscher. She also met Sirin in Saint Freya and unexpectedly found that this Herrscher liked the taste of instant noodles in a bucket and freshly baked bread very much.

However, she didn't expect Sirin to have such... "intimate" thoughts about Luo Lin.

How to say it, Mei now feels as if something has grown on her head, but it hasn't grown out completely.

Head is itchy.jpg

As for Fu Hua, a piece of wood couldn't provide "diplomatic" advice on this.

What? You asked Elysia?

Miss Pink Elf was standing at the other end of the training ground, leaning next to the wheelchair where Su sat, holding a large bucket of Far Eastern snacks in her hand (Note: Sponsored by Higokumaru, this guy collects food every day in the open world Sakura Samsara and even satisfies the iconic "stomach capacity" of Phantom Thieft Kallen Kaslana).

She first shook her finger at Luo Lin, who turned her gaze away and asked for help, then bent down and winked at the gray-haired man sitting in a wheelchair.

"Is our world interesting?"

"Yes, it's very interesting..." Su shook his head, "but..."

Before he could finish his words, Elysia stretched out her finger and flicked Su's head. A little pink light penetrated through the girl's fingertips and entered Su's body, accurately preventing the mobilization of Honkai energy. Miss Pink Elf said something with a hint of anger: "Don't use your eyes to observe the possibility of the world anymore."

"...I don't have that idea anymore..."

Su rubbed the place where he was hit awkwardly: "After all, the fate of the world has gone in a direction I have never understood, and the future has fallen into unpredictable chaos, and there is no possibility of observation."

Elysia pondered for a few seconds: "It seems that Abonia also said this to Luo Lin before."

"Also?"

When mentioning this person, Su's eyebrows trembled. He turned his head and looked at the black-haired Valkyrie who was sandwiched like a "sandwich."

"...It seems that one of the variables that makes the world go to the unknown is here."

"Your way of describing it is a bit too inhumane."

Elysia rubbed the gray-haired man's head, seeming intoxicated by the touch of Su's hair, and then muttered in a nonchalant tone: "If I have to say, I feel that Luo Lin is really similar to me."

The words of Miss Pink Elf made Su suddenly open his eyes, and his pupils shook: "Ah?!"

Elysia was shocked by Su's appearance: "Why are you reacting so strongly?"

"I... you..."

The gray-haired man's lips moved for a long time, and finally said with difficulty: "Elysia, is she a Herrscher?"

"She is a human."

"Are you sure?"

"Why, don't you believe me?"

"Of course I do, but... if she looks like you..."

Su stared at Elysia. He remembered that 50,000 years ago, in the nearly perverted security and scanning environment of the Fire Moth, Elysia was able to cover up her identity as a Herrscher tightly - of course, this may be related to the special power of Miss Pink Elf.

Elysia seemed to have read the gray-haired man's thoughts, showing a troubled expression: "Why don't you ask Mobius and Vill-V? They have drawn blood from Luo Lin countless times. They must know whether Luo Lin is human or not."

Su was silent for a long time: "...Okay, I'll ask later."

Miss Pink Elf smiled and asked: "I thought you would continue to hide from them like before."

"Haha..."

The gray-haired man closed his eyes again and turned his head towards Luo Lin: "I guess so. I thought I had fulfilled my duty and my life had reached a predetermined end... But fortunately, an old bone like mine seems to be able to shine for a while longer."

"I think at least a hundred years... and, this time... I feel that we can all see the end of our fate."

Elysia put a handful of snacks on Su's palm: "Try it?"

"... Yeah."

Not far away, the Herrscher of Sentience finally couldn't help it and said angrily: "... Why are you like a child?"

"I am a child." Sirin showed her fangs, "and as for you, you should call me sister."

"Hey, you guy..."

Sentience was angry!

Just when the atmosphere between the two was about to escalate further, Luo Lin directly put her arms around the shoulders of Sirin and the Herrscher of Sentience and loudly comforted: "Okay, okay! Don't quarrel!"

"It's none of your business!"*2

"... Isn't this closely related to me?"

Luo Lin felt wronged. She looked up at the sky and began to pray - can someone come to save her?

As if the heavens heard her call, the door of the training ground opened and a familiar male voice came from there.

"Oh? I don't think I came at the right time?"

Otto Apocalypse raised his eyebrows and said.

Why is it you?!!!

Chapter 16

Otto's appearance changed Luo Lin's passive status quo. Sirin and the Herrscher of Sentience smacked their lips simultaneously, as if they had seen something distasteful.

The two Herrschers left the shoulders of the black-haired Valkyrie and stared at the Archbishop of Schicksal with their golden and red eyes.

"Good afternoon, everyone."

"Your Excellency the Bishop."

Durandal nodded to Otto, then looked at Luo Lin, revealing a barely detectable expression of worry.

"Your Excellency, the Overseer...?!"

Ana was stunned for a few seconds, then shivered, stood at attention quickly, and put on a serious expression.

In fact, she felt completely numb. Previously, she had thought it was outrageous that her affairs had been reported to Amber, the secretary of the Bishop of Schicksal, but now the Archbishop suddenly appeared?!

"Ana Schariac..."

Otto glanced at her and said, "I have already spoken to your captain. I will temporarily transfer you to Luo Lin's side. If she has any needs, you will address them. Do you understand?"

"Ah... yes!"

Ana answered loudly.

Sirin frowned and flicked her fingers. Purple light spots scattered from her fingertips: "Otto... what are you doing here?"

Otto opened his hands and said, "I came to see my collaborator, you and your partners, and to meet your needs as well."

"I don't have any needs. If you must know, can you disappear from my sight immediately?"

Sirin crossed her arms, a mocking arc appearing at the corner of her mouth, her hostility in her golden cross eyes quite strong.

The blond man shook his head under her sharp gaze: "I'm afraid that won't work. I have other things to do."

"Tsk."

The Herrscher of the Void smacked her lips unhappily. With the attitude of avoiding someone who can't be provoked, Sirin took the initiative to look away. The golden cross in her eyes gradually dimmed and disappeared, finally returning to a pure blue.

Kiana, who logged-in to her account again, blinked her eyes, and seemed a little confused about the situation. After entrusting her body to Sister Sirin, our paramecium emptied her brain and fell asleep directly, not caring at all about what happened outside.

She looked around, her hair bouncing twice, and felt the atmosphere was a little weird. Then, under the gaze of everyone, Kiana pretended to move her body as if nothing had happened and shrank behind Luo Lin.

Otto actually understood Sirin's attitude. It would be strange if she didn't hate him after everything she had experienced. He could still stand here safely now, instead of being pierced into a skewer by the Sub-space lance as soon as he entered the door. This was already the result of the Herrscher of the Void's considerable self-restraint.

As for the Herrscher of Sentience... just from her face that looked exactly like Fu Hua's, the disgust and irritation she couldn't help showing when she looked at him, and the subtle attitude of the Herrscher of Sentience towards Fu Hua, Otto had already made some clear conclusions in his mind.

The Herrscher of Lightning who looked at him with admiration was an outlier among them, but considering the relationship between Mei Raiden and the other two, Otto felt that if something happened, this Herrscher with long blue-purple hair would most likely not stand on his side.

However, there is another person who can easily influence the attitude of the Herrschers...

Otto Apocalypse turned his eyes and looked at the black-haired Valkyrie: "Luo Lin, my friend..."

Hearing this, Luo Lin shuddered like Ana. She felt goose bumps all over her body and quickly responded: "My Lord Bishop, what do you want?"

"I have some new discoveries about the data of imaginary fluctuations in your body." Otto gestured to the gate outside the training ground, "Can we talk for a moment?"

"Okay."

Luo Lin stepped forward and walked side by side with Otto. The two quickly left the training ground and walked to the deserted door.

Otto did not avoid the inquiring gaze of the black-haired Valkyrie. He clenched his five fingers, and a small golden cube fell into his hand. There was a slight humming sound, and an invisible barrier unfolded with the two of them at its center.

The scenery outside the barrier became blurred, and Luo Lin's ears suddenly became quiet, leaving only her and Otto's slight breathing.

This should be some kind of barrier to block external detection. Luo Lin had seen a similar device on the bridge of the Hyperion in the original world during the [Chiyou incident].

A few seconds later, the blond man broke the silence: "It's quite lively here... Unlike Void Archives, he hasn't talked much since the 'data restoration' and he's even too lazy to move... He used to like to turn into a human form and go shopping near me."

- Is it possible that because of Void Archives' image and voice were restored to the original form of 'Prometheus'?

Luo Lin didn't voice her guess. She laughed dryly: "My Lord Bishop, let's get down to business."

"Of course, no problem."

Otto let go of his hand and let the small golden cube float in the air. After the Divine Key turned twice, a lot of data and charts were projected into this small space.

"Let me give you a simple conclusion first. I have found the space pointed to by those special frequency imaginary fluctuations on your body... the theoretical coordinates." Luo Lin was stunned for a moment. She quickly thought of the [system space] on her body that had always been confusing.

The girl couldn't help but get nervous. "Theoretically?"

"Yes, it's just the theoretical coordinates, because the position of this coordinate is very strange..."

Otto took out a stack of tables from the projection and placed them in front of Luo Lin. The black-haired Valkyrie picked up the file.

After a few minutes, her expression became blank. Luo Lin couldn't help asking: "...Why is there an extra value?"

We all know that if you want to determine the position of a point in a plane, you can do it by establishing a plane rectangular coordinate system.

At this time, you only need to give the X-axis value and the Y-axis value.

The same is true for locating a certain position in the imaginary space and the Sea of Quanta, except that it requires more coordinates and reference systems.

But Luo Lin saw this coordinate dafa with extra numbers, which was equivalent to directly poking the plane coordinates into the three-dimensional coordinates, and even the dimensions changed. As for the already complex space coordinates, the significance of an extra number is even more exaggerated...

"[Cosmic Juggernaut] cannot input the coordinates of this extra 'data', so naturally there is no possibility of reaching this position. Even observing it has become a huge problem..."

Otto seemed a little distressed: "In addition to this weird coordinate, I also observed many places... I found that the imaginary space is not as empty as I imagined, except for danger... In a sense, it is quite interesting."

He paused and changed the subject: "Of course, I have a guess about the extra number..."

The blond man's eyes flashed with dangerous and excited light.

"Could it represent... time?"

Chapter 17

"It is indeed possible..."

Luo Lin felt herself sweating.

This was not only because of the blond man's words, but also because of the emotions emanating from him at this moment.

Otto Apocalypse was no longer the handsome and unrestrained Archbishop of Schicksal who effortlessly commanded respect. Through his green eyes, Luo Lin saw a cold, unscrupulous soul with infinite patience and determination.

Just like hundreds of years ago, his surging emotions had condensed into extremely cold ice, untouched by time, which only made it deeper and more unpredictable.

It seemed as though a dark flame burned in the depths of Otto's eyes, even staining Luo Lin through his gaze, stinging her skin and continuing to spread, making the Valkyrie feel suffocated.

A few seconds later, the blond man covered the briefly exposed essence under the shell of the Archbishop of Schicksal again, revealing a smile befitting his identity and position.

"Haha..." Otto bowed his head slightly, "Sorry, I seem to have lost my composure just now... After all, this is a mystery about time, which can easily stir the imagination and excitement!"

Time... If this value is related to time, will it affect Otto's grand plan to climb the tree? Or will it become another avenue Otto wants to explore?

Thinking of this, Luo Lin held her breath and looked at the Overseer of Schicksal.

"Why are you getting nervous again?"

"After all, you are the supreme leader of Schicksal, and I am just an ordinary A-rank Valkyrie. It is normal to feel pressured."

The black-haired Valkyrie avoided eye contact, lowering her head to carefully read the report Otto had handed over.

She sighed, having to admire Otto's genius and patience.

He found and summarized the rules of the world from the vast and headache-inducing data, using an effective method to analyze it and reconstruct the "road" that directly pointed to the principle itself...

Even Otto wrote the research report in a simple and easy-to-understand way (which, by the way, is also a very difficult task). The results he calculated were not impeccable, but at least there were no flaws in the support of the existing observation data.

However, Otto did not continue discussing the meaning of "time" in depth. He changed the topic: "Let's talk about the stigmata again... I have to admit, Luo Lin, you are the most special stigmata awakener I have seen in hundreds of years—both you and the stigmata you carry."

Otto raised his arm and swept the previously projected window to the side, pulling out a batch of new data and tables.

In the center of this batch of tables, there were three patterns of different shapes. Luo Lin narrowed her eyes. She knew these were actually the stigmata installed on [Dark Feather].

A little knowledge: In addition to the large, character-based illustrations of each stigma, there is also a set of small, one-to-one corresponding line patterns for each stigma. When entering the Valkyrie Stigmata assembly interface, it will be displayed on the character's back.

However, Otto was not satisfied with this. He manipulated it a few times, and the originally clear and clean stigma lines became blurred, looking like a square mosaic.

Luo Lin's expression was quite strange. She felt that this thing looked like a temporary replacement picture made by the art department when the stigma lines were not yet completed in the Honkai Impact 3 test server...

"In theory, a person's awakened stigmata should be complete and have a strong, inseparable connection with the person. But..." Otto paused, "The stigmata on your body seems to be clearly divided into three parts, each of which can operate independently yet also cooperate with each other. This 'design' provides great inspiration and help for the artificial stigmata technology of Schicksal."

Otto paused. After all, after the word "artificial stigma" appeared, Luo Lin's expression became worse again.

"I haven't forgotten the Moon Ring device you provided earlier. It does have the potential to replace the implantation of artificial stigmata on the Valkyrie," Otto said in a subtle tone. "But making the Moon Ring is a very difficult task. Some of its parts are too 'advanced' in terms of technology and processing accuracy. They can only be made on a small scale in the laboratory, or I can craft them with my hands..."

"Moreover, the combination of stigmata and Moon Ring can achieve the effect of 1+1 greater than 2... Before humans can overcome the collapse, any opportunity to enhance combat effectiveness must be firmly grasped. So, I will not stop the research on artificial stigmata implantation surgery." Otto snapped his fingers: "But aren't you studying the topic of stigmata? Can you share your progress with me?"

Luo Lin pinched the golden hairpin on her head. With the power of the Key of Revelation, she and Otto projected a lot of data and charts into the air: "Here, these are the documents and reports prepared by the two scientists for sharing... There are a lot of them, I will send them to Void Archives first."

Void Archives couldn't help but complain when she heard Luo Lin's words: "Why are you suddenly looking for work for me? Isn't it better to let me stay alone?"

Luo Lin immediately refused: "No, if you grow mushrooms in a dark corner, it's easy to walk into a dead end and create big problems."

Otto glanced at the golden cube that made a mechanical girl's voice, touched his chin, and suddenly said: "It seems that not being able imitate my appearance is a huge psychological blow to you?"

Void Archives broke her defense and shouted: "Get out, who likes your appearance! I just sneaked out and needed to borrow your identity! I..."

The golden cube realized hef explanation was making things worse and became a dull person who only knew how to carry out tasks.

Otto shrugged, grabbed a few pieces of the projected files made by Luo Lin, and glanced at the title: "Stigmata resonance, a very reasonable name. Luo Lin, your physique is indeed suitable for this kind of research... Oh? This data..."

The blond man's voice softened, and his brows furrowed: "Luo Lin, do you know what kind of stigmata resonance this data is caused by?"

Luo Lin leaned in: "Let me see... It should be the stigmata resonance formed by a survivor I fished out of the Bubble World? Is there anything wrong?"

"Just looking at your data here, there is no problem, but when I used [Cosmic Juggernaut] to observe the imaginary space before, I also found similar data..." Otto held his chin, "According to the records, you didn't use this stigmata to conduct the stigmata resonance experiment at that time, why is there a difference? Why are there so few imaginary fluctuations?"

Luo Lin guessed: "Could it be the feedback formed by the resonance between it and the isotope in our world? Just like Anna, after completing the resonance with her parallel world self, she gained some memories and emotions, and also left some observable reverberations in the imaginary space."

"The problem is that the kind of 'afters' and 'reverberations' left by Anna are not much, and they don't last long," the blond man said, troubled. "But the data I mentioned has been found in many places in the imaginary space... Moreover, its frequency seems to be somewhat similar to that of the Herrscher? The only problem is that its intensity is not satisfactory, just like a silk thread, it disappears with a casual breath..."

Detected keywords: a lot, found in the imaginary space, silk thread, the Herrscher fluctuations, the intensity is not high. Luo Lin immediately became alert.

Chapter 18

"Oh? From your expression, you seem to have some clues about this phenomenon?"

"... Just a guess."

Otto extended his hand to Luo Lin, who frowned, and motioned for the Valkyrie to start talking.

"In the best case, as I said just now, those are just traces left by the Stigmata resonance experiment, but because of some unknown rules, they can be found in other places in the imaginary space."

Luo Lin whispered, "Of course, this may also be a special phenomenon in the imaginary space... If it's worse, those things may be traces left by a new Herrscher in the imaginary space."

The only one who can leave traces in the imaginary space, with low strength and a shape related to silk thread, is most likely the [Herrscher of Dominance].

Luo Lin felt a little toothache. If it was really the Herrscher of Dominance, things would become quite troublesome. The Herrscher of Dominance will manipulate others like "puppets," making emotions extreme, causing people to no longer trust each other, interrupting the chain of social operations, and even usurping and blocking the power of other Herrschers...

This is much more serious and worse than the Herrscher of Void, Herrscher of Thunder, and others destroying the world in a "physical" way—collapsed buildings can be rebuilt, lost materials can be replenished, but the trust and connection between people are broken, and it is even more difficult to rebuild this spiritual relationship.

More importantly, the combat power of the Herrscher of Dominance ranks last among all the Herrschers. For this reason, the Herrscher of Dominance will avoid fighting as much as possible and hide in dark corners to perform his "mission."

And his Herrscher core is also quite special. It can be split into many parts. As the number of splits increases, the corresponding power decreases. Currently, the record for the Herrscher of Dominance splitting his core is up to one thousand parts, distributed among one thousand individuals, each of which is a Herrscher of Dominance—therefore, he is also called [Herrscher of Legion].

As long as these one thousand cores are not captured or destroyed at the same time, he can keep moving.

To be honest, Luo Lin has no way to deal with this guy yet. After all, the core and action mode of the Herrscher of Dominance highlight a "fear of death," and it can even be said to be the "most intelligent" among the Herrschers.

If you want to target this guy, the best way is to create a "bait" that he cannot refuse, like fishing, and catch all the Herrscher of Dominance in one fell swoop.

In the previous era, Dr. Mei discovered that the goal of the Herrscher of Dominance at that time was to interrupt the launch of the [Divine Key Project]. Then Dr. Mei decisively used herself as bait, took the Herrscher core and the Key of Blankness to the isolated island overseas, and lured the Herrschers to come.

In the end, Dr. Mei used the Key of Blankness to eliminate the Herrscher of Dominance, but because of the overload of the Key of Blankness, her body was severely damaged, which accelerated her own death. It is difficult to comment on the merits and demerits.

In the present era, Kiana, because of her extremely special identity and experience, passively became the "bait" to attract the Herrscher of Dominance—as long as Kiana's spirit is pried and she becomes the Herrscher of the Void again, the Herrscher of Dominance can easily make the protagonist group fall apart and destroy the human world with minimal effort.

The Herrscher of Thousands made a big plan, but it was a pity that the white-haired girl had gone through hardships at that time, and her will was firm and her faith was shining. With the help of many companions, she finally killed the Herrscher of Dominance...

But now, Kiana, Raiden Mei, and Bronya are still students at St. Freya Academy. The series of painful but indeed growth-enhancing hardships have not yet been staged—even the plot of the three protagonists performing the "Left 4 Dead" when Nagazora City eruptrd and turned into a ghost town at the beginning was kicked away by Luo Lin to an unknown place...

In this case, if the Herrscher of Dominance appeared, who among them could handle it? It's very difficult!

"A new Herrscher..."

Otto was silent for a few seconds, then said, "From what you said, this doesn't seem to be the worst possible scenario?"

The black-haired Valkyrie laughed dryly, "Do you want to have a head-on conflict with the Tree of Imaginary Numbers or the Sea of Quanta? Or do you plan to fight another battle with the evil energy creatures in another universe that is no less intense than the current Honkai?"

The blond man's expression changed subtly. He opened his mouth and finally shook his head helplessly, "Luo Lin, you are really good at giving people some 'surprises'... Please write the part of these two sentences that can explain them to me in a report and hand it to me, okay?"

Luo Lin looked at the other party in surprise.

Otto saw what the Valkyrie was thinking, and shrugged his shoulders, "Of course, I want to know everything, but... there should be some basic understanding between us. If you really don't want to say it, I can't force you to say it—we are still on the same side in dealing with the Honkai, that's enough."

Well said, but it was Otto who said it after all... Let's keep a hundred eyes open for now.

"Okay, I'll report to you later..."

Luo Lin agreed, she thought for a few seconds, and made a suggestion to Otto, "In fact, I think it's better to take the initiative to confirm what the thing in the imaginary space is like."

"Yes, I think so too."

Otto showed a familiar smile on his face, which made people feel uneasy.

Luo Lin realized something, and she asked back, "So, this matter falls on me? Right?"

The blond man nodded as a matter of course, "Professional matters should naturally be handed over to professionals. Luo Lin, the A-rank Valkyrie of the Intelligence Department, this matter is handed over to you, and I will provide you with support."

"Okay."

Luo Lin rubbed her face and prepared to work overtime.

"However, this matter can be put aside for a while. After all, there is no clear 'bad event' happening now..."

Otto raised his arm and pointed in the direction of the training ground, saying meaningfully, "Don't forget that you have more important things to deal with now. That is a ready-made, open, and obvious 'threat' that will explode if you are not careful."

Luo Lin: "Uh..."

The blond man patted Luo Lin on the shoulder and gave a thumbs up, "Come on, I am optimistic about you."

After that, Otto removed the soundproof barrier and walked away.

Luo Lin put her hands on her waist, watched the back of the Bishop of Schicksal disappear at the corner of the street, and sighed.

"Why do I feel like I've been tricked by him again?"

"Miss Luo Lin?"

The black-haired girl was startled by the voice that suddenly appeared in her ear. She turned around and found that Rita had touched the area.

"Rita, have you rested well?"

The vice-captain of the Undying Blade could only laugh dryly, "That... that was just an accident..."

"Well, I get angry unexpectedly, I understand." Luo Lin shook her head, "What's wrong?"

Rita's eyes wandered, and she muttered, "Well, I just want to know if there is any way to teach your...'transformation' technique?"

"?"

Chapter 19

Luo Lin decisively rejected Rita's request—firstly because Rita's words probably contained some "dangerous" ideas, and secondly because Luo Lin herself hadn't figured out the mechanism of switching character cards, so even if she wanted to teach others, she couldn't.

"However, this is a good research direction..."

The Valkyrie touched her chin and muttered.

Anyway, as long as it is related to the system, the starting point is the bottom-level rules of the world, and there is no upper limit. For example, look at [Helix], who is still lying next to the "network cable" she made, wondering why a crystal suddenly appeared.

Thinking of this, Luo Lin asked the [Helix] who had been silent for a long time, "Helix, you have been studying for so long, have you found any pigs? Have any wild crystals grown?"

"Maybe, maybe, yes?"

At this time, [Helix], who was staying in a mysterious corner, raised her head and said, "After all, I only saw a little bit... the 'young crystal' that has not grown yet?"

In her vision, the network line leading far away was surrounded by many blue stars of the same color as the crystal, finally forming a ball of mist emitting an intoxicating light.

And in the center of the mist, there was an extremely small, translucent crystal shadow, which slowly grew larger as time passed, like a plant, and gradually solidified.

"My intuition tells me that this thing is inseparable from the stupid netizens on the other side of the network cable, but what exactly did the netizens do to condense the crystal..."

[Helix] paused for a few seconds and said in a subtle tone, "I have been 'surfing the Internet' these two days, posting various posts and videos to see if it will affect the formation of the crystal. It is worth mentioning that some benefits and content related to showing that you are a transmigrated have been directly censored and cannot be sent out at all..."

Luo Lin was shocked, "No, wait, what 'benefits' did you send to those netizens?!"

[Helix] avoided the question, "Of course, these operations did not cause any changes. The crystal is still as far away as the legendary asphalt drop test..."

"Explain it clearly!"

"Tsk, it's the kind of benefits you think of. Those thing has high traffic, so I plan to try it..." [Helix] smacked her lips, "But it doesn't work for others, my own selfies even didn't work—and this is not successful!"

"Then I have to thank the Xipe for not allowing this practice, right..."

Luo Lin breathed a sigh of relief but was inexplicably disappointed, "I thought I could turn to the live stream and fast forward to 'Netizens, please give Teacher V 648 crystals, I'll take you to see the real world of Honkai,' and if everyone would give me money, I could use tons of crystals to buy countless SSS characters, weapons, and stigmata, and then directly sweep the Honkai and be myself..."

"You are too imaginative!" [Helix] complained, "But this title is good, I will try it next time."

"Stop!"

The Valkyrie rolled her eyes, put her attention back to the real world, and then saw Durandal, who had come out at some point, grabbing the hand of Rita, who looked lost, as if to comfort her.

Luo Lin stared at the face of the vice-captain of the Undying Blade and noticed that there was a little secret joy hidden under Rita's sad expression, leaving her speechless.

"Um, Sister Luo Lin..."

Kiana looked around for a long time before she made up her mind to run out from behind the training ground gate and stand next to the black-haired Valkyrie.

She scratched her hair and stuck out her tongue, "What happened just now?"

"Did you really just throw your body to Sirin and leave it alone?"

Luo Lin wanted to show her surprise, but then she thought about it and realized that Kiana was still in the state of paramecium, which meant that she still felt safe, indirectly indicating that the situation of other people around her was not bad.

The black-haired girl was relieved. She stretched out her hand and rubbed the white-haired girl's head vigorously and began to greet her cordially, "Long time no see, how are your grades? Have you improved the subjects that barely passed the previous exam? How many subjects did you pass in the small test?"

"Ahhh, stop!"

Kiana screamed and stepped back repeatedly, trying to get rid of Luo Lin's "magic clutches," "It's obviously vacation time, why are you still talking about those cursed things?!"

Luo Lin's expression immediately became cold, and she raised her voice, "Oh? You mean your grades are not very good?"

The white-haired girl froze in place as if she had been released from a stasis spell. She laughed dryly, "Actually, it's not that bad, I still passed..."

"It's the kind of pass that's on the line, not a single point more."

Raiden Mei, who came out right after, gave Kiana a finishing blow in time, fully demonstrating the friendship between the two.

"Mei..."

"You can't not study hard." The girl with long blue-purple hair replied with a smile.

"You, you..."

Luo Lin pinched Kiana's cheek hard, making the white-haired girl purr cutely.

A few seconds later, the black-haired Valkyrie let go and said helplessly, "Forget it, I know you are not very good at this, I will teach you later..."

"Hehe, I know Sister Luo Lin loves me."

Kiana rubbed her cheeks and rushed towards Luo Lin with a smile.

Luo Lin hugged her and tried to touch Kiana, "Good guy... Why do I feel that you have gained weight?"

Kiana immediately retorted, "How is it possible! I have been active all the time!"

"That's right, the Kaslana family seems to have a physique that does not gain weight..."

Just then, Kiana suddenly raised her head, "Sister Luo Lin, did you bake bread?"

"Ah? How do you know this?"

"I smelled it!"

The white-haired girl was full of pride. Of course, she would not say that in addition to the smell of freshly baked bread, she also smelled a certain reassuring breath on Luo Lin.

"When it comes to eating, you are more sensitive than a dog's nose."

Luo Lin shook her head and turned to Durandal and said, "It seems that we can only practice here today. Let's go back and settle down, and then I will cook a meal. Let's have a good rest!"

"Okay."

Durandal has always been indifferent.

"Delicious..."

Kiana swallowed her saliva. She liked Luo Lin's cooking very much. She even drooled at the thought of it.

Of course, this didn't mean that she didn't like Raiden Mei's cooking skills. It was just that Luo Lin's food tasted different... How should I put it? It tasted like home.

Raiden Mei suddenly raised her hand and said, "Well... Then I'll help too!"

"Won't you be tired?"

The girl with long blue-purple hair made a "yeah" gesture, "No, it's just right to show Teacher Luo Lin my recent progress."

"No problem."

Next to her, Bronya held Seele's hand and didn't let go. She stared at Seele, making her face red.

"Sister Bronya..."

"Seele..."

The Herrscher of Sentience muttered, "Wow, so corny."

"Long time no see, Sen... Sentience?"

Fu Hua's final change of words surprised Senti. She raised her eyebrows, "It's been a long time, but it's not that long if you count carefully... What can I do for you?"

"I just wanted to say hello to you." Fu Hua pushed her glasses, "I feel that you are much more relaxed now than... before, which is good."

"Haha, Luo Lin is a wonderful person. I can always see joy with her. It's hard not to be optimistic." The Herrscher of Sentience pointed in another direction, where Elysia and Su were, "For example, that one is also an old acquaintance of yours."

"Mine...?"

Fu Hua was stunned for a moment. She looked at the gray-haired boy in the wheelchair. The other party showed a complicated smile and her lips trembled a few times.

"Hua..."

Chapter 20

"Ahhh... delicious..."

Kiana showed great skill, holding a pair of chopsticks in each hand, stuffing her mouth full of food, her face filled with a happy smile.

Ana looked at the white-haired girl who had turned into a glutton and exclaimed, "Wow, just looking at her makes me feel full... Isn't she worried about getting fat?"

Raiden Mei heard what Ana said and explained, "Don't worry at all, she has a physique that won't get fat."

Ana became depressed, "What, why is it like this?! I usually have to be careful even when eating desserts..."

"Okay, this is the last one!"

Luo Lin put a pot of soup in the middle of the dining table and sat down. The black-haired Valkyrie wiped her hands and said, "Thanks to Mei, Rita, and friend Higokumaru, we could make so many delicious dishes..."

Hearing Luo Lin's words, the little fox raised her head proudly, her nose tilted high, "Hehe, I only need to use a little trick to bring everyone a big pot of food! I'm awesome... Wait, big sister, are you calling me Higokumaru again?"

Higokumaru... No, it's Feiyuwan floating in the air, staring at Luo Lin suspiciously.

Luo Lin answered seriously, "How could it be?"

Not long ago, this little fox seemed to have sensed something and ran from the [Open World] module to the real world by herself, helping Luo Lin complete today's cooking task.

"Higokumaru is great!"

Raiden Mei clapped her hands and praised the little fox sincerely—after all, this little fox, like Luo Lin, can use Honkai to make pots and pans fly in the kitchen, highlighting a bit of magic. In addition, Higokumaru can also speed up the preparation of dishes with a method that she herself does not quite understand. The speed of serving this meal is particularly exaggerated and dazzling. Luo Lin even had time to send a similar meal to the Flamechasers in the Elysian Realm...

Don't ask why the memory replicas can eat, just know that Honkai can do everything.

"Hehehe!"

Praised by Raiden Mei, Higokumaru immediately forgot the question she asked Luo Lin before, touched her head, and smiled foolishly, her ears and tail moving randomly, looking very fluffy and furry.

It's really easy to understand...

Rita glanced at the flying fox and then helped to pick up the dishes into Durandal's bowl, "Today's training intensity was relatively high, eat more."

"Yeah."

Durandal buried her head in the food, and for some reason, she always felt that today's meal tasted particularly delicious.

Maybe Luo Lin is really good at cooking, the blonde knight thought so.

On the other side of the table, Fu Hua and Su stared at each other in silence for a long time, not even taking a few bites of the food. Elysia looked around and sighed. She put down the bowl in her hand and poked Fu Hua and Su's faces, "Okay, why are you so reserved? It's a rare reunion. Are you going to keep silent like this?"

"... It's just that there are too many things to say, and I don't know where to start, so it turned out like this."

Fu Hua broke the silence. She said to the gray-haired boy seriously, "Welcome back, Su."

"Well, I'm back, Hua... I should call you Fu Hua now."

Su also became more relaxed. He "scanned" Fu Hua up and down, frowning slightly, "Well, your strength..."

"Because of some things I've experienced, my strength is not as good as before." Fu Hua passed over those complicated and painful experiences and said with a smile, "But now I have trustworthy companions again..."

When saying this, Fu Hua looked at Luo Lin and Durandal not far away. Su seemed to have sensed something and turned her head in the same direction.

"Indeed, she is a trustworthy person."

The gray-haired boy also showed a similar gentle smile and looked exactly like Fu Hua.

"That's right."

Elysia nodded with satisfaction, stretched out her hands, and held the two people in her arms, "I missed you too!"

"Elysia..."

The pioneers began to release flash bombs but still failed to cover up the pink bubbles coming from the side—

"Sister Bronya!"

Seele raised the spoon and smiled as she sent a piece of meat to Bronya's mouth.

"..."

Did Seele use this spoon just now...?

Bronya felt her face on fire and directly turned Ural's silver wolf into a red wolf, but she did not hesitate and swallowed the food into her mouth. She chewed, and the taste flowing between her lips and teeth brought a certain sweetness.

Seele stared at the girl with silver-haired double helix with her blue eyes, smiling brightly. Bronya was so fascinated that she even forgot she was chewing. Seele giggled, raised her handkerchief to wipe the sauce off the corner of the silver-haired girl's mouth, then sent another mouthful of food over.

Luo Lin couldn't bear to watch it anymore and reminded her, "Don't just eat, feed Seele some too!"

"That... Seele, you eat too."

Bronya hurriedly raised her spoon and sent a mouthful of food back as well.

Seele didn't hesitate and ate it in one mouthful. After chewing for a few seconds, her eyes lit up, "Today, Sister Luo Lin's meal seems to be more delicious than usual!"

"It's emotion; she added emotional power..."

The Herrscher of Sentience answered Seele's question with a complicated expression. She could feel the emotions filled in the meal—more importantly, Senti found that the emotional power used by Luo Lin this time was neither the template of Cecilia's maternal love in the past nor the broad care refined after Aponia's teaching... but the satisfaction and love that Luo Lin had for meeting all the people present at this time.

The Herrscher of Sentience tasted another mouthful of the meal, and the emotional power penetrated into her spirit very smoothly, making her feel as warm as if she had been exposed to the sun.

Senti nudged Luo Lin with his elbow, "Your skill of [Emotion Diffusion] is getting more and more sophisticated. I didn't even notice you used it just now. And today you can even put 'drugs' in the food. Very impressive!"

Luo Lin blinked, "Ah? I didn't use [Emotion Diffusion]?"

"You didn't use it?" The Herrscher of Sentience was also stunned, "Then how is the emotion in the food... You didn't use it subconsciously and didn't react?"

"... Maybe?"

Luo Lin also took a few bites of the food she made and fell into deep thought while eating—how did I do it?

It was not as "ostentatious" as after the skill was activated. It quietly injected emotions into the food and even allowed this emotional power to remain in the food for more than ten minutes or half an hour without dissipating...

Senti saw that Luo Lin was not moving while eating and immediately reacted. She added two chopsticks of food to the girl's bowl, "Are you studying again? Eat first! Don't let the food get cold..."

"Ah? Oh oh..."

The black-haired Valkyrie followed suit and accepted Senti's feeding.

Not far away, Kiana's action of sweeping the table was subtly interrupted. The feeling of low pressure flashed with the golden light in her eyes and soon returned to normal.

"Herrscher of Sentience... you guy..."

Sirin muttered.

Chapter 21: Herrscher of the Void’s Sharp Comments

After having enough drinks and a full meal (since someone can’t drink any alcohol), Luo Lin took Kiana back to her room.

Except for the big bed on the side, there were piles of documents everywhere. The desk was even more cluttered, almost drowned by manuscript paper. Many screens were projected on the wall, with dense data charts changing over time.

Kiana looked at these things and fell asleep reflexively.

"Wake up!"

Luo Lin patted the white-haired girl's shoulder, half laughing and half crying, awakening her from the state of "about to be drowned by the ocean of knowledge": "Don't fall asleep, otherwise how can I treat you?"

Kiana pointed at herself: "Treat me first?"

"Yes, after all, your sister Sirin's problem is more troublesome than Raiden Mei's..."

Luo Lin patted her mattress, motioning the white-haired girl to sit down, and then smoothly took off the hairpin-shaped revelation key, mimicking Fenghuang Down, with golden feathers shining.

"As usual, I'll have you and Sirin take turns playing a few rounds of [Character Challenge], and then [Emotion Diffusion] treatment to ensure you can sleep well."

"Okay."

Kiana lay on the bed very consciously, waiting for Luo Lin's treatment.

She was very familiar with this set of procedures. Luo Lin did this when she was in Saint Freya before. This set of procedures can eliminate many of the effects of the Honkai on Kiana and Sirin, greatly relieving their mental stress.

After the treatment, the white-haired girl would fall into a sweet and dreamless sleep. When she woke up the next day, she felt reborn and so comfortable.

"Get ready and relax..."

Luo Lin also climbed onto the bed and lay next to Kiana. The white-haired girl smiled and held the girl's hand, looking at her.

More illusory golden feathers appeared around them, falling on them like snowflakes, and then merging into their bodies.

The next moment, the black-haired Valkyrie fell into the spiritual world——

[High-voltage Challenge - Herrscher of the Void]

[Current Progress - 4/11]

[What does the world look like in the eyes of the Herrscher? The girl with golden eyes looked up at the sky. Does the starry Void bring hope or despair?]

The system pop-up window flashed by, and Luo Lin quickly stabilized her body. At this time, she had entered the high-voltage challenge venue, and her appearance became the classic [Herrscher of the Void] in the game Honkai Impact 3.

She called softly: "Sirin? Kiana?"

"... I'm here."

Sirin's voice rang in Luo Lin's ears - to be exact, it was the [Herrscher of the Void] character possessed by Luo Lin who spoke.

The girl with golden eyes lowered her head, and the Honkai energy flowed and surged with Sirin's mind, and several small portals opened around her.

The girl stared at the endless darkness in the center of the portal and even took the initiative to reach out and probe into the portal.

"Interesting... I can feel that behind this door is the imaginary space, but I can't move freely like in the real world. It seems that there are many restrictions."

Sirin shrugged her shoulders and said: "However, perhaps it is precisely because of this restriction that I can use the Herrscher power at will within the permitted scope, without worrying about the impact of Honkai on me, and..."

Accompanied by the words of the Herrscher, several Valkyries wearing familiar Schicksal uniforms appeared on the open field, some holding long spears for long-range attacks, some holding huge axes, and some holding auxiliary flutes, all of their eyes focused on Sirin.

These are classic Biologic-attribute monsters. Luo Lin has seen them a lot in the Abyss and Paradise. Of course, compared to the real-life Immortal Blade Valkyries, their weapon choices are a little more limited, but with the outrageous support of the system, they still have strong combat power.

The Herrscher of the Void felt the undisguised hostility of these guys, and her mouth formed an exaggerated arc, her voice involuntarily rising: "There are still so many enemies here that I can fight with all my might. I'm so happy!"

[Challenge Begins!]

At the moment the battle began, Sirin teleported herself into the air. She was high above, and dozens of Sub-space Lances fell like rain in just a few seconds, hitting those Immortal Blade monsters.

Almost every enemy was pierced by at least one Sub-space Lance, leaving terrible wounds, but after just a few seconds, these wounds would heal in a flash of data flow.

Sirin dodged the bullets of the gun-wielding Valkyries' counterattacks and responded with Sub-space Lances. The two sides fought fiercely.

At the same time, the Immortal Blade members standing on the ground holding huge axes also bent down, ready to go.

The next moment, they charged straight at the Herrscher floating in the air - yes, they rushed into the air!

If you look closely, you can see the light of Honkai energy flashing under the feet of these Valkyries. They ran in the air as if it were flat ground by briefly condensing Honkai energy as a stepping stone/foothold.

Even if they were hit continuously by the Sub-Spacr Lance, they continued to charge as if nothing happened!

"Hiss..."

Luo Lin took a breath. This was the first time she saw an enemy strengthened like this in the system today.

Usually, the system strengthens monsters by lengthening the HP bar, adding abnormal status resistance, adding "entries," improving combat wisdom and cluster coordination, and adding some small special mechanisms at most.

Although these enhancements are enough to make people anxious, they do not change the way to deal with monsters. The head should be hit, and the tail should be cut off (?).

However, the scene that appeared in front of Luo Lin now completely overturned her speculation about the system's strengthening of the enemy - ordinary monsters now have the ability to fly directly into the sky, and even the skills of dodging in the air are quite methodical... It's like the beauty of the transformation from SS monsters to SSS monsters in the Memorial Arena.

Thinking about it this way, wouldn't other monsters be more terrifying after being strengthened?

Luo Lin shuddered and whispered, "No, no, no, it's not necessarily like that... Maybe it's because the Herrscher of the Void can use her power to float in the air without limit and can even fly very high, forming a situation where the high hits the low, the system had to add this mechanism of taking off from the ground..."

"Okay, I'm done with this wave... It took a little longer, what about the next wave?"

Sirin's voice brought Luo Lin back to her senses. She stared at the empty field, praying that the next wave of monsters would not meet her worst guess...

"Hehehe!"

"Hahaha!"

Accompanied by weird laughter, a dark tone permeated the surrounding space, and the atmosphere suddenly became oppressive. Sirin raised her hand cautiously, and several Sub-space Lances were ready to go.

Dozens of weird black and gold puppets fell from the sky, with silk threads hanging from their hands and feet, leading to the endless void.

"Snap!"

Sirin snapped her fingers, and the previously prepared Sub-space Lances shot out, piercing through the bodies of many puppets. The crisp cracking sounds came one after another, and before long, these puppets were smashed into pieces.

Then, the Herrscher of the Void made a strange sound: "Ah? Why are these guys so weak? This is not in line with the previous level, right? Luo Lin, I haven't seen you for a few days. Could it be that your own treatment skills have regressed?"

Luo Lin's mouth twitched: "... Is there a possibility that this is not something that should be in our treatment process, but other invaders?"

"Invaders? Invading my spiritual world?"

Sirin tilted her head, her eyes full of "innocence": "But, it's too weak, isn't it?"

Chapter 22

"Comparatively speaking, she is quite weak..."

Luo Lin looked at the puppet fragments scattered on the ground and sighed, "It's just that she was unlucky. She just happened to run into our treatment site for consciousness and spirit... Then she took full advantage of the special attack disadvantage and was easily blown up by you."

Sirin didn't care much about these puppets that suddenly appeared. Her eyes were fixed on the system pop-up window that appeared in front of her:

[Failed]

"I actually failed... If these puppets hadn't come out to mess up, I should have succeeded."

Luo Lin looked at Sirin, who appeared unhappy, and comforted her, "It's okay. Whether this challenge succeeds or not will not affect the effect of our treatment... and we have plenty of time to start over."

"Humph, how can there be a chance to start over in a real battle..."

The Herrscher of the Void waved her hand unhappily, and several shining fragments floated up from the ground and fell into her palm. Seeing this, Luo Lin's eyes lit up, "This... the refined operation of the power of the Herrscher? Sirin, you are so amazing!"

"...Your words are a bit disgusting! I am not like Kiana!"

Although Sirin said this, Luo Lin could feel that this sentence still worked, and the Herrscher's expression was obviously relaxed. She even had the mind to joke, "In fact, this technique was taught to me by you."

Luo Lin blinked, "Really?"

"I am not 'resting' all day long. When you are near me, I will definitely 'wake up' and relax well—usually, you are giving Kiana extra lessons at this time."

The Valkyrie half-opened her mouth, "Ah, this..."

The Herrscher of the Void chuckled a few times, "I still remember that you taught Kiana the skills of fine operation more than ten times. I listened beside her, but she still looked like she didn't understand it."

"People are different. For example, Kiana is like this, not good at thinking... Well, it can't be said that she is not good at it. After all, after being abandoned by her father, Kiana grew up alone and safe and sound, so there must be something."

Luo Lin spread her hands, "It's just that she probably thinks that she has so many good friends now, so it's better to leave all the troublesome things like thinking to others—so Kiana gave up thinking and degenerated into a paramecium on the spot."

"Oh? It seems to be true... But what is a paramecium?"

Sirin, who had never taken a systematic biology class and only woke up occasionally to audit Kiana's class, asked the question very naturally.

This question successfully made Luo Lin hold her forehead. She explained in a low voice, "It is a ciliate of the Paramecium genus of the Paramecium family of the Hymenostoma order... Well, to put it simply, it has no brain."

Sirin pinched her bangs and complained, "You should do less research. When you said that just now, I thought you were going to give an academic report or something like that."

The Valkyrie couldn't help but look sideways, "You have also heard academic reports? The academic atmosphere of Saint Freya should not be so high, and Kiana doesn't seem to be someone who is willing to go to such occasions..."

"That has to be traced back to the Babylon Laboratory period."

Sirin said in a calm tone, "At that time, I was not a Herrscher, but just an ordinary little girl—in the eyes of those researchers, I was more like some kind of 'item', or a consumable 'experimental product'. Isn't it normal to carry an 'experimental product' to carry out an unconventional academic report?"

"... Sorry."

Luo Lin didn't expect that she could still poke Sirin's tragic past like this, and her whole body was stiff.

"Puff, what's that expression on your face? Do you think I care about these things? I killed all those researchers as soon as I got the power, which was also revenge."

What the Valkyrie didn't expect was that Sirin actually laughed, "It's just that I think of them occasionally and find it a little ridiculous—they treat life so arrogantly and can decide the life and death of the experimental subjects with just a flick of their fingers, as if everything is under control..."

Sirin paused, pinched the puppet fragment that was previously placed in her palm with her index finger and thumb, and held it horizontally in front of her eyes.

"I feel a similar taste from this thing, arrogant and arrogant," the Herrscher of the Void said. "It's a 'same kind' that I hate from the bottom of my heart... the Herrscher."

"Huh?"

Luo Lin scratched her head, "But, the Herrscher of Dominance should obviously be... wait..."

The Valkyrie fell into deep thought. She knew how big a storm her "butterfly" had stirred up, and as the most important mechanism of the Honkai world—[Honkai], this phenomenon itself will naturally produce corresponding changes.

Now, the Herrscher of Dominance has come out several ranks ahead of schedule, and according to Sirin's perception, her power seems to be somewhat different from what Luo Lin remembered... No, it is still unclear whether this guy can be called [Herrscher of Dominance].

"Thank you for the trouble."

The Valkyrie took a deep breath and said, "Sirin, can you please collect these fragments? I need to study this thing."

"It's a small matter."

The Herrscher of the Void snapped her fingers in a symbolic way, and all the fragments scattered on the ground gathered in front of her, piling up into a small mountain.

Luo Lin, who was in "ghost mode" in [Character Challenge], controlled her body to float down, made a gesture of touching these fragments, and then with a thought, sent them all directly to the system warehouse.

—The system is really amazing.

Luo Lin glanced at the warehouse panel, and there were only some items with names like [Doll Fragments], but not the [Core of Herrscher of Dominance] she expected.

"Okay, according to the agreement, let's go treat the paramecium next. I won't waste your time." Sirin waved her hand and decisively disconnected the link.

Under Luo Lin's gaze, the white-haired and golden-eyed queen closed her eyes and lowered her head.

The whole person seemed to have a soul out of her body (in a sense, it was true).

A few seconds later, the Herrscher of the Void opened her eyes, as if she was reborn. Her temperament changed significantly—especially the pair of golden eyes with a crosshair pattern.

Suddenly, the feeling of being full of oppression and looking down on others from a high position was gone, and it became a pure beauty who lacked a brain to absorb knowledge.

"Wow, Sister Luo Lin, you guys finished the treatment so quickly today! I'm not ready yet..."

Luo Lin looked at the white-haired ball's expression and guessed, "Do you dislike getting beaten again?"

Kiana, who was on her account, rubbed her hands and laughed dryly, "Well..."

"The difficulty here is indeed more than a little higher than the practical class of Saint Freya, but there are many benefits. It can make you familiar with your sister's power..."

You also know it's difficult? Kiana complained silently.

Every monster in this place is ridiculously strong, and Kiana is using a body she is not familiar with. The fighting style of this body is also completely different from her usual style.

It's like two people sharing a game save file. As a master who is familiar with the game mechanism, Sirin broke through the difficulties and then handed the handle to Kiana, leaving her confused to face the difficult levels that she, a newbie, should not deal with. The ending is obviously that Kiana was beaten and screamed...

There is no way, this is also part of the treatment, what else can she do? For Sister Sirin, Kiana endured it!

At worst, she could go out to the training ground and beat up the Honkai Beast, Zombies, Titan Mech, and other things to get back at her!

Thinking so, she resigned herself to fate and started the [High Pressure Challenge]. Sure enough, the white-haired ball was in a rather embarrassing fight, and the excellent attack performance of the Herrscher of the Void was not shown much, but the efficiency of running and dodging made Luo Lin amazed.

"Oh, take this attack of mine!"

After great efforts, Kiana raised the Sub-space Lance and killed the last monster of the first wave to the ground, turning it into stars.

"Yeah!" She cheered as a winner.

Luo Lin was somewhat speechless, "This is only the first wave!"

Kiana retorted, "It's a big improvement that I can beat the first wave!"

"...That's true."

While the two were talking, the second wave of monsters refreshed:

"Hehehe~"

"Hahaha~"

Kiana looked at these puppets that made strange laughter and shuddered, "What is this, what is this?"

"Enemy, just fight them."

Kiana swallowed her saliva and rushed up. Soon, she made a cheerful sound.

"Hey? These guys are quite weak... Reward level?"

"..."

Luo Lin's face was serious, and she murmured, "Another invasion? No, coincidences don't happen continuously... In this way, my judgment is problematic—then, these things are just a manifestation of the power of the Herrscher?"

The Valkyrie raised her head and focused her eyes on the silk thread holding the puppet's limbs.

"Maybe we can start from this and follow the clues...?"

I have a question. Teacher V and Garbled Brother are in the same production team. They are super hackers who broke through 100,000 or even 90,000 security measures and sent announcements at will in the official forum of Mihoyo. They can be called the real-world Haxxor Bunny. Why didn't Teacher V just let Garbled Brother kill the automatic blocker and then post it for fun?

Chapter 23

"Uh..."

Kiana sat on a chair surrounded by detection instruments, shifting uneasily.

She looked around. Luo Lin stood in front of her, with the Herrscher of Sentience and Fu Hua next to her, and then Su in a wheelchair. Everyone was crowded around Kiana, staring at her.

There were a few glowing figures a little further away, a special effect of three-dimensional projection. The Memory Replica from the Elysian Realm was intervening in this experiment in the form of projections.

In addition to Vill-V and Mobius, who were almost always present, there was ELF Klein holding a tablet, and two familiar characters, Fuxi and Nuwa.

A pink-haired assassin from the Elysian Realm was eager to see her sister's stigmata. The research progress of the stigma manifestation device was advancing rapidly, and it could now meet the requirements for 24-hour uninterrupted operation with low power consumption.

Sakura was very happy. She can now communicate with her sister regularly and felt hopeful every day. Unfortunately, Fuxi and Nuwa had become "victims" of this technology, and the time they were pulled out by Mobius to do experiments and help was greatly extended.

At this time, Nuwa, appearing in the projection, looked exhausted and muttered, "I'm back, I feel like I'm back... The doctor is still the same, the research is a little different, but it's still so brain-burning... I want to drink milk tea and eat snacks..."

Fuxi poked her with her arm and whispered, "Shh, concentrate on your work! Besides, it's unclear whether we two stigmata can eat..."

"You can definitely eat."

Mobius suddenly spoke, and Fuxi and Nuwa shivered in unison, with classic expressions of being caught slacking off at work.

Snake touched her chin and said, "Since memory replicas can eat, it shouldn't be difficult to get you to eat, right?"

Nuwa's eyes lit up: "Really?"

Mobius glanced at her with her snake pupils and snorted, "Don't think about it now. The data is wrong. Work hard first!"

"Hmm."

Nuwa fiddled with the tablet in her hand excitedly. Fuxi watched her sister's movements and expressions, realizing she had been easily controlled by Dr. Mobius.

This lively feeling lasted for a while, and the laboratory returned to a relatively quiet state.

Almost everyone held a glowing object in their hands, either feathers, leaves, or personal terminals. In short, everyone had their own way of staying busy.

Kiana felt time had never passed so slowly. She only heard the regular dripping sound and the slight buzzing caused by the fan running. Besides that, there was only the faint light accompanied by the changing breathing rhythm. In this environment, the white-haired girl gradually felt dizzy. The air around her felt sticky and slowly solidifying. Kiana felt like a small bug that had accidentally fallen into resin and would soon turn into a very rare paramecium amber.

However, this feeling did not last long. Soon, Kiana felt everything return to normal.

The white-haired girl widened her eyes. She looked around and her eyes passed over Luo Lin and the others' faces. They looked solemn, and strangely, no one spoke. Silence enveloped the space.

"..."

She swallowed and finally couldn't help but speak. She said in a trembling voice, "Why aren't you all talking? You're scaring me here..."

"What? We were chatting enthusiastically just now?"

Luo Lin raised her face, her expression abnormally wooden, her pupils slightly dilated, and she looked very creepy.

"Ah!"

It was rare for Kiana to make a sound similar to that of a frightened little girl. It sounded very inconsistent with her usual carefree personality.

Su, who was in the wheelchair, was not startled, and did not even blink, and said, "Ms. Luo Lin, we were chatting in the spiritual link of the Herrscher of Sentience just now, and we did not speak outside at all."

"...Ah, my fault."

Luo Lin reacted belatedly and apologized to the white-haired girl.

Just then, the Herrscher of Sentience suddenly raised her head, as if someone had punched her in the chin.

"Well, the clue is broken!"

She shook her head and said through gritted teeth, "Kiana, you have to stay calm! The consciousness space will be affected by your current emotions. If the fluctuation is too large, this experiment will not be able to proceed at all!"

"Ah, this...I will try my best..."

Kiana seemed to realize that her outburst had interrupted this important experiment. She laughed dryly and shrank back into the chair, looking pitiful.

A few seconds later, the white-haired girl sat up again: "No, Luo Lin, you look too scary, are you really okay?"

Luo Lin rubbed her face hard a few times, making her somewhat empty and numb expression become lively: "Uh... I'm fine. Sorry, Kiana, we were exploring your consciousness space just now, and all our attention was there, so our expressions and tone were a little weird."

Kiana looked at the black-haired Valkyrie suspiciously: "Really?"

"Really, don't worry."

Luo Lin rubbed the white-haired girl's head and comforted her: "I have good news for you. The traces left by the mastermind are quite obvious, and it seems that they won't run around and hide, so it's easy to find them again..."

"Ah? Are there any traces that can run around and hide by themselves?"

"After all, the opponent is a Herrscher, so we can't be lenient with the enemy..."

Looking at Kiana with a frown on her face, Luo Lin could only use "Anti-Paramecium" to comfort her. "I'll make you something delicious after I'm done... No, I'll make you whatever you want, just order whatever you want."

"Okay, for the sake of ordering whatever I want..."

The white-haired girl pursed her lips and muttered: "Alas, the scene just now was like waking up halfway through an operation when the anesthesia wore off and finding a bunch of doctors around, who were about to announce that you were beyond help and then put a cloth over your head..."

The corner of the black-haired Valkyrie's mouth twitched: "Can't you think about something better?"

Kiana scratched her head: "In fact, there was a period of time when I felt very uncomfortable and almost couldn't breathe..."

Luo Lin immediately turned her head and said to Mobius: "The monitoring data just now!"

"The abnormal time period has been marked."

Snake sent the file to Luo Lin's personal terminal. The Valkyrie stared at the data, fell into deep thought, and subconsciously tapped on the terminal panel.

This time point... was it when we touched the trace of the Herrscher of Domination just now?

The Herrscher of Sentience suddenly realized: "At this time, we encountered a group of strange puppets in the consciousness space and fought with them... Was it their influence?"

"It should be."

Luo Lin touched Kiana's head again, then raised the Key of Revelation in her hand, and the golden feathers returned to the shape of a square: "I uploaded the data I just captured to the analyzer. Mobius, Vill-V, please analyze it."

Snake stared at the new data and raised her eyebrows: "The Key of Revelation is really convenient."

"Thank you for the compliment!" Vill-V smiled happily.

"I don't want to praise you, the funding thief."

"But the Key of Revelation is my design."

The chief engineer of the Fire Moth narrowed her eyes: "Just ask if it works."

"Tsk."

Mobius turned her head unhappily: "Let's look at the data... Well, this thing..."

She stared at the screen with a weird expression.

Luo Lin was also in a similar mood: "This looks familiar..."

Vill-V saw something, snapped her fingers, and said in amazement: "Another coordinate of the imaginary space? Luo Lin, have we been dealing with the imaginary space a lot recently?"

-Maybe it's because the Theater of Domination is in the imaginary space?

The black-haired Valkyrie didn't say this out loud, after all, she was facing a brand new Herrscher of Dominance, and it was hard to say whether there was this [Domination Theater]...

"Let me see, these coordinates are not complete..." Luo Lin touched her chin, "Maybe Kiana got scared just now and interrupted our exploration, so we have to go in and explore again to collect complete data..."

"Do you want to go in again..."

Kiana remembered the uncomfortable feeling just now, and her facial features twisted for a moment.

But the next moment, the white-haired girl took a deep breath, and her expression gradually became firm: "Then come... I won't have any problems this time-I made an appointment with my dad to become the strongest Valkyrie! This hurdle can't stop me!"

Chapter 24

Luo Lin once again entered Kiana's consciousness space. After a few seconds of weightlessness, she landed on a small square.

This place was full of students in uniforms, coming and going, making it very lively. In the distance, many not-so-tall buildings glowed warmly under the sunlight.

Fu Hua appeared beside Luo Lin at some point. She looked around, feeling the atmosphere of the consciousness space, and sighed: "St. Freya Academy left a very good impression on Kiana..."

"It’s very good," the Herrscher of Sentience appeared. She pointed to the distance and said, "I just went for a walk. Kiana only remembered a lot of buildings like models without details, but the cafeteria is well-restored. Even the specific stalls are clearly remembered, obviously leaving a deep impression on her."

Luo Lin bowed, "You deserve it, White-haired Taotie..."

Senti spoke to the air, "Su, I have shared my vision with you. How is your 'signal'?"

Su’s calm voice replied, "Very good, the vision is clear."

The Herrscher of Sentience breathed a sigh of relief, "That’s fine. Luo Lin and Elysia said you’d better not use too much power now, so I thought of this way..."

"Thank you, Sentience," Su's voice echoed in the mind link. "Although I can't use much Honkai energy, my eyes can still see a lot of things..."

Senti clenched her fists and showed a fierce smile, "Then let's go, we must catch that guy this time."

"Don't..." Fu Hua felt something was wrong, but she only had time to raise her hand before Senti exerted force on her feet, taking off flatly amid the exclamations of a group of students, and disappearing into the clouds.

"Your swaggering actions like this are likely to alert the mastermind behind the scenes..." Fu Hua held her forehead and said in a low voice.

"Old antique, don't forget who I am! I am the Herrscher of Sentience. This is my home ground. Why should I be afraid of that guy!"

As if he heard her muttering, the Herrscher of Sentience issued a notice in the mind link with a hearty voice, "Just use the force of thunder to catch the opponent’s flaws before they have time to react—oh, Su seems to have discovered something. I will open the door and let you come in!"

As soon as the voice fell, a glowing vortex as tall as a person appeared in front of Luo Lin and Fu Hua. The two looked at each other and stepped forward.

After passing through this portal, the biting cold enveloped Luo Lin's body. She shivered, and the water vapor she exhaled instantly disappeared in the strong wind.

"It's snowing heavily—"

The Valkyrie blinked hard and found that everything in her sight was full of wind and snow. The hazy white blurred everything, and even Luo Lin's own voice sounded so small.

Suddenly, a burst of warmth came from the side. It turned out that Fu Hua had raised her hand, [Fenghuang Down] glowing slightly, and propped up a hemispherical protective shield to isolate the cold wind and blizzard.

Fu Hua's face became solemn, "Extreme weather represents aggression, rejection, and emotional instability, which is quite common in the consciousness space of Valkyries with psychological trauma... Kiana usually looks heartless, but she actually has these experiences?"

"Could it be the battle in Belarus...?" Luo Lin looked at the blizzard outside the protective shield, her face stiff.

Fu Hua heard Luo Lin's mumbling and seemed to think of something, "Belarus? Could it be when Sirin first woke up in Kiana..."

Luo Lin scratched her head, "You know..."

Fu Hua nodded, "Yes, I’ve read the report submitted by Captain Ragnar to Otto..."

"So it’s this channel? Yes, given your relationship with Otto, it’s impossible that you didn’t know about this... Kiana should have been conscious at that time and was also trying to stop Sirin's atrocities. If it weren’t for her help, the number of deaths that night would probably have increased by several orders of magnitude..."

The Valkyrie sighed, "But, in a sense, she experienced everything from a first-person perspective, witnessing 'herself' killing humans, 'herself' fighting with her father Siegfried... For a child, it’s really too shocking..."

"I see..." Fu Hua stared at the whistling snow outside the protective shield and said, "So, Luo Lin, when are you going to tell her the truth—I mean, starting from the K series clones?"

"This..." The Valkyrie hesitated for a long time, finally speaking with difficulty, "I haven't thought about it yet. How should I put it, Kiana is a strong person. I believe that even if I tell her this directly, she will not be completely devastated..."

Luo Lin paused and smiled bitterly, "But this is too much of a blow to her. Kiana will definitely have wild thoughts, be disgusted with the world, and then fight with the energy of burning herself out... or worse."

The self-destructive Kiana in the Meteoric Salvation + version? I'm afraid she won't even have a chance to eat bell pepper curry...

Fu Hua's expression was quite strange, "Why do you sound like you know what will happen..."

The black-haired Valkyrie scratched her head, "Well, it doesn't matter... Anyway, I have to find a less shocking way to tell her, or wait for her to grow up a bit more?"

Does she really have time? Now the Herrscher of Dominance has come to kill her... Although it is still debatable whether it has come to the door, the opponent's trace is already close at hand.

Or, as long as the Herrscher of Dominance is confronted before it attacks Kiana, it will be fine?

"Hey, hey, hey? Why are you two standing there?"

The voice of the Herrscher of Sentience interrupted Luo Lin's thoughts. She still sounded so energetic and lively, "Su said there should be traces of the mastermind in this snowstorm. We need to search carefully... I'm on the other side now. You start from here and search carefully."

"Understood," Luo Lin replied. She looked at Fu Hua, "Shall we start?"

"Yes..." Fu Hua patted the black-haired girl on the shoulder, "Don’t worry too much about Kiana’s matter. Brainstorming will always find a way."

"I hope so."

Luo Lin also raised her hand, and the mimic Fenghuang Down emitted a light no less than the original. This light penetrated the barrier of the snowstorm and illuminated the surroundings.

——Besides, since this is a consciousness space and is related to extreme emotions, her "emotionally sensitive" physique should be able to directly feel something...

Luo Lin blinked hard and took a deep breath, "Okay, I decided to follow my intuition!"

What she didn't know was that at this moment, a little pink starlight flickered in her eyes.

A few minutes later, the black-haired Valkyrie was surprised to find a long string of tracks that stretched across the snowfield. Even though it was buried by snowflakes, it still stood out from the rest of the world.

"I found it!"

Chapter 25

"Found it so quickly? How did you do it?"

The figure of the Herrscher of Sentience suddenly appeared behind Luo Lin and Fu Hua. She landed from midair, looking dusty, with some snowflakes on her body and hair.

Fu Hua smacked her lips and said, "According to Luo Lin... intuition?"

"Intuition?"

The corner of Senti's mouth twitched, and she muttered, "Is she so unreasonable? She easily surpassed me, who flew across half of the space in the wind and snow... I wanted her to see the power of the Herrscher..."

The Immortal Phoenix could only comfort her dryly, "It's okay, you are already great."

The person they were discussing was half-crouching on the ground, gently moving handfuls of snow with her hands, exposing the traces buried in the snow.

To others, it was a few strands of golden silk, about as long as an arm. These golden threads were not straight, a little crooked, but generally extended in the same direction.

"Hiss... To be honest, I'm nervous when I see something like silk thread now," Senti scratched her head and asked in a low voice, "Luo Lin, are you sure this is really not... the work of that person?"

The Valkyrie answered confidently, "It's not the tree of imaginary numbers. The silk thread style he usually uses is very 'clean.' There is nothing else except pure energy that can drown a human. And these in front of us..."

In Luo Lin's "vision," thin black mist attached to these not-so-long silk threads, and they represented a series of negative emotions - sadness, anger, despair, madness, and even a strong breath of destruction.

The "external manifestation" of these negative emotions is also extremely unstable. The black mist spreads outward like water vapor, but it seems that because of the insufficient concentration, the rising black mist was blown away by the wind and snow before it floated far.

Luo Lin waved at the Herrscher of Sentience who had just landed, "Senti, come and have a look too."

"Hmm... Compared to the negative emotions I, oh, the old timer, had seen before, it seems more... discordant."

The gray-haired Herrscher trotted and squatted beside Luo Lin. She carefully "tasted" the black mist and then frowned, "How to put it specifically, it's like oil in water, which doesn't blend with the blizzard in Kiana's heart. And the color of this oil is weird, it doesn't seem like normal anger or despair..."

Luo Lin reached out and picked up a strand of golden silk thread, saying, "That's right, because these emotions contain a lot of extra information, just like me when I first thought about [emotion diffusion]..."

A long time ago, Aponia once commented on Luo Lin's [emotion diffusion] skills, focusing on criticizing her problem of "a lot of information in the diffused emotions" - at that time, Luo Lin didn't know how to abstract and purify emotions such as "Cecilia's maternal love for Kiana" into a broad "care and love of relatives."

Aponia said that if this kind of limited emotion continued to spread, it would most likely cause trouble.

Later, as she said, when Sirin was affected by Honkai energy and broke into Luo Lin's bedroom in the middle of the night, the Valkyrie panicked and spread "Cecilia's maternal love for Kiana" to comfort her.

As a result, Sirin felt uncomfortable because of the overly specific direction of the emotion, which greatly stimulated the nerves of the Herrscher of the Void, causing the other party to directly "forcibly" kiss Luo Lin...

"Ahem..."

Luo Lin coughed twice, pursed her lips, temporarily shook off the strange memories, and explained to Senti, "I don't know if the guy who left these emotions is not good at these, or doesn't care about these details at all. In short, this is a great help to us. Moreover, I should be able to 'read' something from it."

"Let me do it!"

Senti patted her chest and took the silk thread from Luo Lin.

A few seconds later, the Herrscher said categorically, "This is not just the negative emotions of one person, but the sum of the negative emotions of many people... Many of these emotions are stimulated and extreme. They are not specifically directed at a certain person, a certain thing, or a certain phenomenon, but are 'rootless fire' without reason and target."

"Ah, all this sounds very Herrscher..." Luo Lin blinked, "Su, please notify Vill-V and start data collection."

"Understood."

In reality, the gray-haired man in the wheelchair raised his head and nodded slightly to the holographic projection behind the glass of the laboratory.

Vill-V immediately pressed the button, and the instruments placed around the few people hummed. Everyone present felt a tingling sensation similar to the spread of electric current, which lasted for two seconds and then dissipated.

"This feeling is so strange... Is the instrument really okay?"

Ana pinched her bangs and looked at those retro, steampunk-style instruments with a very subtle expression.

Durandal replied in an uncertain tone, "It should be... no?"

Rita spread her hands, "I can only trust Senior Luo Lin's connections."

As if she had some intuition, Vill-V suddenly turned around in a strange posture and shouted to the Valkyries watching, "There is absolutely no problem with my equipment! Don't worry!"

"...You are actually frightening when you say that."

On Luo Lin's side, they further analyzed the information contained in those negative emotions.

The Herrscher of Sentience flicked her fingers, dispersing a lot of black mist into the wind and snow, and extracted several crystals from the golden silk thread.

"I have eliminated those irrelevant and catalyzed negative emotions," she said happily, "Now the remaining information is most likely related to the host of the Herrscher of Dominance - come on, let's look at it separately, it's fast."

Luo Lin took some of them and analyzed them with the mimicry of Fenghuang Down, "This is... a programmer? It seems that he is very angry about working overtime all day, and even has the idea of destroying the world? And the telephone customer service who is always bullied..."

Fu Hua also took a few, "I have... people who suddenly got seriously ill and found out that they were terminally ill after seeking medical treatment everywhere, people who failed in investment and were burdened with loan sharks, and... survivors of the Honkai incidents?"

As for the remaining crystals in the treasure identification, she fiddled with her index finger on her palm for a few times, "I have a few here, tsk... this one is an orphan, this one is also an orphan, they are all survivors of the Honkai incidents."

Hearing this, Fu Hua sighed, "In recent years, the intensity of Honkai activities is increasing, and there are more and more orphans."

"This is interesting, are they twins?" Senti muttered, "Let me take a closer look at their faces... uh, I can't see clearly, but their hair is pretty cool."

Just then, Su sent a message, "Everyone, Mobius said that she has analyzed the corresponding imaginary coordinates - according to calculations, the coordinates correspond to the real world in the northeast of Australia, near a sea area in the Solomon Islands..."

It sounds so familiar...

Luo Lin thought for a while and her face changed drastically.

"Coral Island?!"
